How to use speaker notes in beamer

I don't normally add notes to my presentations (I keep them in a separate 
file that I just print out), but am thinking about it, so I'm wondering how 
people implement this (if at all) in beamer presentations.

It looks to me like Adobe Reader doesn't have a real presentation mode (nor 
does Apple Preview.app), where the speaker sees one thing on their screen 
and the audience another on theirs. Instead there are other apps that 
handle this. Do any work with pandoc's notes functionality in beamer, so 
that the speaker can see the notes, but the audience can't?

I have also discovered that some apps work using beamer's "second screen" 
option where the pdf is generated as a "double-wide" file that the app 
splits to show to each audience. In this case, the notes go on the second 
screen (easily enough done in pandoc with  `-V beameroption='show notes on 
second screen'`). In this case though some markdown features don't seem to 
work for me. For example, the list in the User Guide's example doesn't show 
up at all.

I've been playing with this using Présentation on my Mac, which is fine 
with the second screen (or the pdfcomment package), but not pandoc's 
default notes.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Should I conclude that no one is using pandoc's native note functionality 
with beamer?

Create a div with notes class. See 
https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#speaker-notes

Thanks for this.

Yes, I've seen the manual. My question was around using such notes in 
beamer presentations.

It seems like people mainly use the beamer notes feature with specialized 
software that reads and displays the notes (which Adobe Reader won't do). 
One popular way seems to be  making them visible on a second screen, and 
another use-case is printing them directly in lieu of the content as a way 
to share with others. In both cases there's a beamer option (show notes on 
second screen, and show only notes, resp.), neither of which is mentioned 
in the manual. It may be that some software reads the notes without needing 
them on a second screen (which basically makes a double-wide PDF), but I 
haven't played around with it (e.g., pympress).

In my case I was interested in using the notes feature for speaker notes 
where, again, it seems one needs special purpose software that will display 
the double-wide pdf in the appropriate way. I was using Présentation.app on 
my Mac.

I was wondering whether I was missing some other way to using notes in a 
beamer presentation.

If my current understanding is correct, I'm happy to add some more info to 
the manual.
