I used to use two monitors on Windows 11.
When I did a webinar or something, I could use "Presenter View" with PowerPoint. This is where it shows the actual full-screen slide on Monitor A and you get to see your notes and next slide on Monitor B. I would just share Monitor B to Teams or Zoom or whatever, and I was good.
But I have recently switched to a single, massive, ultra-wide monitor. I have more screen space than before, but only one monitor. This has led to two problems.
- I can't use Presenter View anymore, because I could only do both on two separate monitors. I can switch to Presenter View, but I want to show the audience one thing, while I see another thing.
- When I share my current monitor, it's insanely wide, so what's projected kinda sucks -- the viewers get black bars on the sides, with the content smaller in the middle.
How can I "fool" Windows into thinking I have a second monitor, and it's of a normal screen resolution? Part of me thinks I should just plug in an old monitor, but stick it under my desk and not use it. But it would still exist, so I could project to it. But there has to be a better way...
I have four inputs on my video card. Is there something I can plug into one of the open ports to make Windows think there's a second monitor there, and can I control the (fake) resolution of it?
