Proper configuration for an extended screen projection

[JDZS098]

Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well. I'm currently setting up a touch device (digital whiteboard) in a classroom to create a hybrid teaching experience. The idea is to run Zoom on the device (which uses Windows) and have an extended screen where the teacher can see only the participants' video.

So far, things are working well: when the teacher starts the meeting and shares their screen, the content is displayed correctly on the main device, and the participants’ video appears on the secondary screen — without interruptions.

However, there is an issue: when a student or participant shares their screen, their content is shown on the secondary screen instead of the main one. This behavior is unexpected and problematic, as we want shared content to always appear on the main display and have the control toolbar always there as well.

We found a temporary workaround by connecting a mouse and manually dragging the Zoom window back to the main screen. While this works, it’s not ideal since the device is touch-based and doesn’t include a mouse or keyboard by default.

Is there a way to configure Zoom or Windows to always show shared content (especially from participants) on the main display automatically? We’re aiming for a hands-free, fully touch-based setup.

Thank you in advance!

Technically this is possible. However, you may find it to be expensive. Use a separate computer with 2 displays to display the screen share and the gallery view that never does screen sharing. The teacher's computer then only needs to have one display and can view the gallery on the second display of the 2 display computer. On the 2 display computer be sure that the Zoom window is in FULLSCREEN mode (this is key to preventing window changing displays) then place the gallery window on the second display.
