Now that our screens are correct, let's get the preferences right in ProPresenter. Step 2: Setting up your ProPresenter preferences. Depending on your version of Windows this might look different, but we want to see two monitors at the top of the screen, and make sure that the screens are set to "Extend", not "Mirror". On a PC, right click on the desktop and choose Desktop Properties or Screen Resolution. We want to turn this OFF! So make sure it is unchecked. If you do see the Arrangements tab, great! Click on it, then look in the lower left of the window for the option to "Mirror Displays". If you only see two tabs (Display and Color) then your computer cannot see another screen make sure that the screen/projector is turned on and is plugged in, and that any drivers are installed. We want to make sure that the computer sees your external screen(s), so look for a tab near the top of the window that is called "Arrangements". On a Mac, click on the Apple on the top left of the screen, then come down to System Preferences, and click on the Display option.


Step 1: Setting up your system preferences.įirst, let's make sure that our system preferences are correct. Let's take a look at the steps needed to get your output up and running. In “Fullscreen” mode, you can set the maximum and minimum zoom, as well as determine whether the zoomed-in screen moves as you move the cursor.Getting your output/outputs to show up on your screens is a fairly simple task, but there are a few steps to it, and skipping any of the steps may result in the output not working. For example, in “Picture-in-picture” mode, you can set the degree of magnification, choose whether the magnification frame follows your mouse or stays put, or have your Mac speak aloud any magnified words after a short delay.

To do so, click the menu labeled “Zoom Style” and choose “Picture-in-picture.” Besides zooming the entire display, you can also turn the cursor into a magnifying glass.(Choose which key you want to use from the pull-down menu.) Check the box marked “Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom,” then scroll on the trackpad while pressing one of three keys: CONTROL, OPTION, or COMMAND. You can also use the trackpad to zoom the screen.To turn zooming off, press COMMAND + OPTION + 8 again. To zoom in, press COMMAND + OPTION + “=” (equal sign), or zoom out by pressing COMMAND + OPTION + “-” (minus sign). Want to use the keyboard to zoom your screen? Click “Use keyboard shortcuts to zoom,” then start zooming by pressing COMMAND + OPTION + 8.On the next screen, click “Zoom” in the left column to see all your zoom options-and yes, there are a bunch.Click the Apple menu in the top-left corner of the screen, select System Preferences, then click the Accessibility icon.
