Page numbers in LaTeX Beamer

Question

Hey guys,

in LaTeX Beamer, the total number of slides includes those that only contain the table of contents before each section/subsection, which increases the total number of slides unnecessarily. Is there any way to prevent this?

In other words: I don't want slides containing the TOC to have page numbers.

Kind regards, mefiX

Answer 1

Add the line

\addtocounter{framenumber}{-1}

on each frame you wish to exclude from total count.
