Sharing video with dual monitors in Win11

[gbaxter]

About two weeks ago the sharing behavior changed. I used to be able to share vlc that was on my second screen and it would play properly for everyone else. Now when I share it shares the audio but the video stays static. I tried the very same setup on a Win 10 Pro computer and it works as expected. The only way I can share a video is to use the share, advanced, video. If I was only sharing one video at a time it would be OK but I share multiple videos at one time so it has become slow and awkward. Is there a fix?

Additional info, I moved the vlc screen onto my primary monitor and it works as before. So why won't it work when vlc is on my 2nd monitor.

I would suggest using OBS Studio (which is free and uses vlc as a plugin to do a playlist) to mange your video playback as well as graphics, slides, audio inputs, and audio files. Add the NDI plugin and you can use NDI sources and output to Zoom via NDI webcam tool. You could also use the NDI output of VLC with NDI tools to output to Zoom.
