I need to add notes for presentation like we add Microsoft PowerPoint 'click to add notes'. Is there some way to do it using latex beamer?

    Please examine chapter 19 of the beamer user's guide. You can obtain it by entering texdoc beamer in yout terminal. Otherwise you can go here: http://texdoc.net/texmf-dist/doc/latex/beamer/doc/beameruserguide.pdf – Henri Menke May 14 '13 at 12:59

    @PaulWintz Yes, that is unfortunate. The texdoc.net service started out very promising but was abandoned for some time and when it was picked up by other developers, the URL format was changed, so all links from before that time are broken. It's better to link to the CTAN mirror directly: http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/beamer/doc/beameruserguide.pdf – Henri Menke Jun 06 '22 at 11:40

You can write everything you want between frame environment into a note command. With the option [itemize] everything you write into the note will look like an itemize list.

%\documentclass[notes]{beamer}       % print frame + notes
\documentclass[notes=only]{beamer}   % only notes
%\documentclass{beamer}              % only frames

\title[Your Short Title]{Your Presentation}
\author{You}
\institute{Where You're From}
\date{\today}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
  \titlepage
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
    \frametitle{Introduction}

\begin{itemize}
  \item Your introduction goes here!
  \item Use \texttt{itemize} to organize your main points.
\end{itemize}

\end{frame}

\note{Everything you want}

\begin{frame}
    \frametitle{Development}

    Lot of interesting things

\end{frame}

\note[itemize]{
\item point 1
\item point 2
}

\begin{frame}
    \frametitle{Development}

    Lot of interesting things

\end{frame}

\end{document}
