Can you give a powerpo presentation and a PC at the online conference?Even if there is only one monitor, it is solved with a dummy plug!

Shinobu Takahashi Nyan and Windows

　The online conference has become common.I'm not so many, but when there are many, there are four or five meetings a day.Most of the participants are one of the participants, but sometimes they are organized by themselves.

　At this time, there is a problem.

I would like to give a "PowerPoint" presentation at the online meeting

　At the meeting of your own, we will use "PowerPoint" to promote the meeting using the "Microsoft Teams" and "Zoom" screen sharing functions.In fact, a problem has occurred at this time.

　This is because the "PowerPoint" slide show is displayed on a full screen, so you can no longer operate "Zoom".You can't chat at the same time.I can't take notes.You will not be able to prepare for the application.In addition, "PowerPoint" has a convenient function called the presenter mode, but this is no longer available on one screen.

Solution 1: Use multi -monitor

　The simplest solution is to make the multi -monitor environment.By using an external monitor, the "PowerPoint" presenter tool can be displayed on the main monitor and the slide screen can be displayed on the external monitor.

　However, if you start a presentation with "PowerPoint", the sub monitor will have slides and the main monitor will be displayed on the full screen.However, the presenter tools can be displayed in the window, so press the [□] button at the top right of the window to display the window to make the screen smaller.

　With such a feeling, multi -monitor is the easiest solution, but it is often difficult to prepare an external monitor for this.

Solution 2: HDMI dummy plug

　To use the presenter tools, you need to have a second monitor.And if the monitor is recognized in Windows 10, it can be anything.Even if the monitor does not exist, it is OK if the monitor is recognized in Windows 10.

　A monitor that is connected but has no reality?Actually, there is a device that realizes such a situation.That is a dummy plug for various screen output ports.At first glance, the dummy plug that looks like a compact USB memory is sold for each port output port (HDMI/DisplayPort/VGA/USB Type-C, etc.).If the price is cheap, it is affordable at less than 1,000 yen.

　If you pierce this dummy plug on the HDMI or VGA terminal, you will recognize that Windows10 has an external monitor.You can see that it is properly recognized in the settings.

　The right side is a display that does not exist.For example, if the dummy plug is compatible with 4K, you can set up to 4,096 x 2,160 pixels.Of course, I can't see it, but Windows 10 is drawing properly as a monitor there.If you take a screenshot, you can save it properly.

How to use a dummy plug at an online meeting

　By the way, even if there is no monitor, you can use the "PowerPoint" presenter mode.However, when using this in "ZOOM", you have to be a little careful.First, let's check how to use it in "Zoom".

1. 「PowerPoint」でスライドショーを開始
2. 発表者ツールをウィンドウ表示する
3. 「Zoom」で［画面の共有］を選択
4. ウィンドウの中から“PowerPoint スライドショー”を選択する

　Now you can share the slide show.

　The point here is which point is "screen 2" (= dummy screen as a whole) or "PowerPoint slide show" (displayed on the dummy screen).The same is true for the shared content, but the behavior changes when you end the share with "ZOOM".

How to terminate the sharing of the presentation screen with "ZOOM"

　Because, if you share the screen with "ZOOM", the control bar will be displayed on the screen, and the screen sharing will be terminated using this control bar.And if you share the dummy plug screen, this control bar will be displayed on "screen 2".In this case, you will not be able to end the screen sharing using the control panel.

　So what do you do?If you press [End of Slide Show] in the presenter tool, it is OK.When the slide show is over, the screen sharing will end because there will be no shared objects.

　This is why you share the "PowerPoint slide show" instead of "screen 2".If you share "screen 2", you will not be able to stop sharing even after the slide show, and you will not be able to control "Zoom".

　So what if you accidentally share "Screen 2"?That's easy.All you have to do is pull out the dummy plug.This completes the screen sharing.In the case of "Microsoft Teams", the screen control can be performed on the main window, so you do not have to worry about this area.

Nyan

　As the time at home has increased, I gradually clean up my house.It is more common to touch the storage here and there, but it is Nyanko and others who jump into the gaps.The other day, I did not notice for several hours.Norwegian rarely cry, so I don't notice it.

　For such a case, I want a sensor and app that grabs the location information of Nyan.
