Switch Between Powerpoint Presentations Mac

Was using latest version of Powerpoint for Mac to project a presentation to a class at UCLA. Used the 'Presenter View' so that I had one view (with notes) and the class saw only the presentation. However, the displays were swapped and the Presenter View was projected. I could not switch back. I could not click on the 'swap displays' button because that was the version projected on the screen. The 'Presenter View' setting was selected, not the Mirror Show in the menu area of the application. No one could figure it out. We even tried going to Displays in Preferences and changing the Arrangement to Mirror, but still it didn't work. Basically, my screen was NOT showing the 'Presenter View'. Could it have made a difference that the media projector was connected after the computer was on?
Thank you to anyone who can help!

This is a view that you'll see on your own screen while giving a presentation using PowerPoint. While the audience will see the presentation on the projector or big screen, you'll have your own private view on a second monitor. In Presenter View, you'll have your own private screen with tools like a next slide preview, timekeeper, and drawing. In Windows it is possible to switch between and work with open applications when PowerPoint is open in presenter view. In this mode, the audience sees only the PowerPoint presentation, while you use the other applications. So the presenter is viewing the presentation via the MacBook and the audience sees it on a projector. We open the drop-down menu, and then select 'Other PowerPoint Presentation.' File explorer should open. We select the presentation to which we want to link, and then click 'OK.' Back at the 'Actions Settings' dialog box, the file path of the second presentation should appear in the 'Hyperlink to' box.
