How do I use Presentation Mode?

From what I've read online here, Presenation Mode is available on Desktop with Windows. While it seems to focus on using with Surface Hub, it notes that it is not a requirement. Yet, I can't figure out how to enable this view nor find additional documentation online.

 

How do I enable Presenation Mode?

 

Similarly, is Presentation Mode available in the Service on desktop? I haven't seen any documentation on this other than using the mobile app.

So this is a little confusing, but there are actually 2 "Power BI" apps in the Windows store. 

1. Power BI Desktop

2. Microsoft Power BI

 

And the presentation mode is available in the second one. I think this second one is basically a Windows 10 port of the mobile app. It appears to be an app designed for people that just want to view reports, not author them. With this app I think you can either view reports from an on premise PBI Report Server or reports that are stored on PowerBI.com.
