ProPresenter 7 is a powerful tool for displaying computer presentations, videos, and other media on a projector or external display. However, if you are new to using this software, you may have questions about how to display your computer to projectors on ProPresenter 7. In this article, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this.
Step 1: Connect the cables
Before you launch ProPresenter 7, it is important to connect your computer to the projector or external display using the appropriate cables. In most cases, this will involve connecting an HDMI or VGA cable from your computer to the projector.
Step 2: Launch ProPresenter 7
After the cables are connected, launch ProPresenter 7 on your computer. Once the software is open, you should see the main menu screen. In the upper left corner of the screen, you will find the “Display” tab.
Step 3: Configure the display settings
Click on the “Display” tab and select “Stage Display.” This will open a new window that allows you to configure the display settings for your presentation. Here, you can choose which display to use as the stage display and which display to use as the Output display.
The “Stage Display” is the display that is visible to the presenter, while the “Output Display” is the display that is visible to the audience. In most cases, you will want to select the external display (projector) as your Output display.
Step 4: Choose the display mode
Once you have configured the display settings in the “Stage Display” window, click on the “Output Display” tab. Here, you will find several options for display mode, including “Extend Desktop,” “Mirror Desktop,” and “Use External Display Only.”
If you want to display your computer screen on both the external display and your computer’s screen, choose the “Extend Desktop” option. If you want to duplicate the screen on both the external display and your computer’s screen, choose the “Mirror Desktop” option. If you only want to display your presentation on the external display, choose the “Use External Display Only” option.
Step 5: Start the presentation
Finally, you are ready to start your presentation. Click on the “Go Live” button located in the bottom right corner of the main menu screen. This will launch your presentation on the external display, and you can now control your presentation using the controls on your computer.
