The Zoom screen will have the next/previous slide tool bar at the bottom. So just look at your Zoom screen and present away. To me, this function is useful when I use Zoom to record an instructional video (because Zoom allows you to pause and resume recording anytime you like.).

To access this option, after you click 'share screen', open 'Advanced' at the top, and you will see 4 share options. The first one is 'share your PPT'.
