Split screen I will be reading to readers in Ireland later this month.

I will be reading from my novel to a group in Ireland later this month. I know how to do a split screen in which one side can see me and I can see them. What I prefer to do here, though, is to be seen by the people I'm reading to as I read to them - but only I can see what I'm reading to them. The document I'll read from will be on the screen for my own use only. To readers it will appear that I'm reading from a teleprompter.

How do I do that in a split screen mode - or is there some alternative Zoom provides?

Hello,

Is that mean you want your listeners to see your face through video but not to see the document which you are reading from? Just not to share screen but privately split your desktop with applications, like this:

Or if you would like to share some other content such as PowerPoint for people to view, the share screen function in Zoom allows you to share single application (or even more than one) of your choice. Just remember to choose the right options!

It sounds like you are looking for a teleprompter camera setup to read into the camera. Check out this YouTube vloger on his setup with a mobile phone and $300 reflector glass for camera lenses. His description has a lot more details on his HW setup. Good luck!
