Zoom Rooms dual monitor layout

My problem is that the Zoom Rooms client uses both screens of a dual monitor setup to display my shared content. According to the settings in the web portal, one screen should display the participants instead. Even after changing the settings back and forth and restarting the client nothing changed.

May be a silly question, but is your controller set to use the screens as duplicated instead of extended?

Hi @Chloe_D

I wondered the same thing as @ChrisO

Zoom Rooms being able to display separate content on two screens is reliant on the host computer operating system seeing those displays separately.

If the host system has its displays configured as duplicated or mirrored (where they already display the same thing), Zoom Rooms will not be able to treat them separately.

If the host system has its displays configured as extended (two separate displays - not mirrored) in the operating system, then Zoom Rooms should be able to treat the displays separately.
