Using your projector in Zoom

Want to use your projector screen in Zoom?

If you have a projector in your room, you can switch the projection mode to Extend instead of Duplicate using [Windows key] + [P] and the computer will treat the projector as a second screen. 

Next, in your Zoom settings, select "Use dual monitors" from the General tab. 

When you start your next meeting, you will have two Zoom windows - one in each screen. 

When you share your screen, choose Screen 1 and the projector will have the gallery view with your students!

Can't find your cursor?

NOTE: If your mouse pointer gets stuck on the projector screen, move your mouse through the left edge of the screen. The computer treats the projector screen as if it is to the right of the laptop screen.

Thanks for the tip, Phil!
