An important thing that all instructors should recognize whenever possible, is what display mode their device is doing when connected to an AV System or a simple computer monitor.
Often times when you connect your device to an AV System or a computer monitor for the very first time, it treats that AV System or computer monitor like a separate device, instead of showing what’s on your desktop.
So in this case, the MacBook that I have connected is extending it’s display to the projection screen, instead of mirroring the desktop.
In the world of Windows, Microsoft uses the word duplicate instead of mirroring. But like Apple, they also refer to this phenomenon as an extended desktop.
Fortunately, it can be very easy to change the display mode of your device. The problem is that the way to do this depends on the hardware or operating system of your device.
Especially if you are an Apple user, please closely observe the top area of your MacBook keyboard. Whether they have function row keys like F1, F2, F3 up to F12 or that touch bar strip that appears on certain MacBook Pros. They both use different methods to change their display modes when hooked up to an AV System.
