I have a 32:9 monitor which I've split into 2x 16:9 however when I go to share in Teams or WebEx it sees the entire 32:9 monitor to share, whereas i only want to share one of the 16:9. Is this possible? (this was the only reason I bought this software).
If you like, you can set the "Mirror Polling Interval (ms)" setting in the Advanced Settings to something lower to speed it up. You can set it as low as 1, but note that the lower the value, the more CPU it will use.
I cannot find information about the Mirroring capability. Where is this documented? How do I enable it? I have the same use case -- to share a portion of my ultra-wide monitor on Teams
I tried it, but the screen goes mostly black with a lot of red lines. Kind of hard to explain
For a second, it flashes what I think I'm supposed to see, but I think there's some sort of scaling issue.
Could you send me over a video of the flashing happening?
For the functions, we don't have specific documentation on what every function does. Those mirror functions will mirror the specified monitor into a window. The border/no border just adds or removes a titlebar to the mirrored window.
The "With splits" function will allow you to mirror just the your monitor split, rather then the entire monitor. The "Selected Area" will allow you to select a certain section of your monitor to mirror. The "Window" function will mirror only the specified window.
It looks like your mirroring the box that's already getting mirrored, and it's creating a loop. If you move the window at the top away from the red box in the middle, it should prevent that.
Thanks. Figured it out. It is very non-intuitive. It seems that the mirror it creates is the full size of my screen, with black bars around the area it's mirroring. So I moved it aside, to stop the recursion, and then I had to manually change the size. Is this how it's supposed to work? It would make sense to make the mirror the same size are the area it's mirroring. It would also make sense to not have the mirror overlay the mirrored area when it first starts, leading to the problem I had. It should create the mirror in another location on the screen.
Also, what is the default polling interval. What is a good setting to make it a little faster?
The mirror selection will be whatever sized coordinates you set from the beginning, as well as whatever location you've set. The mirrored window just opens full screen on your primary monitor by default.
The default polling interval is 350ms, but it can be adjusted in the advanced settings.
Not sure what you mean by the location. I select the top-left and bottom-right of the area I want to mirror. How do I determine the location of where the mirroring will take place?
You say that the mirrored window opens full screen by default. How do I change the default? Since I just have a single monitor that's 49" across, it makes no sense to open full-screen on my one and only monitor
When setting the polling interval, are the units always in milliseconds?
I would recommend creating a Trigger rule to have it place the mirror output window in the spot that you'd like it to be. I've attached a screenshot example for reference.
One more issue about mirroring. If I am sharing my Mirrored area (with Teams, for example), if another window goes over it, the user sees a big gray blob blocking it. If they are only seeing that one Window, why would other windows be able to block it? Is there any way to prevent that?
The problem is that I'm looking at another part of the screen, and I'm not really paying attention to the part that is being shared, so it keeps happening without me realizing it.
Sorry for the delay on this, finally had a chance to test it out. I wasn't able to reproduce the issue here though. You're using the "Mirror Selected Area" function? Or "Mirror Window"?
Not sure if there is one but I wanted to test the same way you were. I tested with "Mirror Window" and "Mirror Selected Area" and both worked fine for me. I'll do some more testing to see if I'm just missing something here.
Thank you! Yes, I've done the same you think have. I move the mirror out of the way so I can work while someone else can see my screen. But I have to be careful not to cover the mirror window
If you share a different window with Teams (e.g. share out Chrome or something) and then move a Notepad window in front of that Chrome window, does the same issue occur?
