How to pin the Meeting Controls to the main monitor?

I have two monitors, the secondary monitor is a virtual monitor created by Windows drivers, so I cannot see it. The purpose is to enable streaming slides while I'm watching PowerPoint's presenter view.

But Zoom automatically moves the meeting controls to the secondary monitor, therefore I cannot open Q&A during the presentation, nor control shares.

How to show Meeting Controls on a different monitor?

Hi @lichray

Hold down the "Shift" key while right-clicking on Zoom in the taskbar, then select "Move".
Use your mouse or the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the window onto the other screen.

The Zoom Meeting Controls is not a window with usual controls (move, minimize, maximize, etc.) that can be moved using this method. Besides, I cannot see this window, so this direction doesn't work.

Did you fix it? I have the same issue.

The only way I have figured out is to

start by sharing the screen you can see.
Then, when the controls pop up, move them to where you want them.
Next, click Share a second time and select the screen you cannot see (Ghost Screen).

That should keep the controls where you can see them and share the screen you want.
