How to Detect if PPT is in Full Screen? (scene switching with Stream Deck)

Is there a way to detect if powerpoint (windows 10) is in full screen mode?
In my case, I'm using stream deck to execute hotkeys within OBS
At present, non PPT scenes execute an 'ESC' keypress to break full screen mode

My psuedo-script request:
If (
PPT is in full screen mode and
Next_Scene_Request is not PPT_1/3_Screen Mode or PPT_Full_Screen_Mode
):
execute keypress 'ESC' # new scene is Chrome/Pycharm -- not a different view of PPT--Break PPT full screen mode
else:
# don't break PPT out of full screen mode

Any push in the right direction is appreciated. I'm handy with Python, and could probably cobble together a Lua script.
I'm not keeping PPT in 'window mode', b/c window mode doesn't have 'presenter view' :\

Maybe a tiny push:
If by "full screen mode" you mean presentation mode, the window title will indicate that. Use a Window Capture source to see it.
Something like [POWERPNT.EXE]: PowerPoint presentation - name of the presentation.pptx
(but I don't have an English PowerPoint version, so don't expect it to be exactly this).
