Just some questions for those who try this software, before I consider installing it:

This is software made for MSWindows, doesn't MSWindows already have the extended desktop function built-in for multiple monitors, to where one would only have to put the portion to be viewed on the extended desktop to the second monitor?

Also, if someone has tried it, does this "only display a portion" also apply to HDMI outputs, or is the HDMI output going to display the full desktop on the HDMI TV as it now does?

Installed and registered without problems: on opening it stated that it required two monitors to be able to function, sadly a requirement I was unable to fulfil.
Looks like an interesting program for teachers, it presents three options the ability to show the full screen, part screen or application window on the second monitor.
Would love to have a play with this program, maybe possible to connect an old monitor of mine to my system., would be useful when my granddaughter comes to see me, maybe I could get some work done and entertainer her at the same time.:-)
If you can fulfil the requirements, two monitors on your system, probably worth giving it a download.

Folks, this is CLEVER.

The problem with conventional screen sharing is that you may have documents, apps, etc., on your screen that you want to keep private. Doc names, for example, may reveal something you DO NOT want other people to be aware of (particularly in a business environment, but personal as well). Or, perhaps you may be less concerned about privacy but you don't want distracting clutter.

Usually, this would force you to clean everything off your desktop before you share your screen. With this app, you don't have to do that. You can demo or communicate something in a limited area.

That makes this app pretty useful.

MS Windows can use a second monitor.
And I have used this function many times.
There are some restrictions.
You can clone the first monitor on the second monitor
Or you can expand/enlarge the first monitor with the second. Par examples: the whole desktop will expand from 1024*800 -> 2048 * 800
But when the second monitor has different ratio heigth/width, then there a little problems.

The software of today can put a part of the desktop on the second monitor and enlarge it/zoom. So the people in the back of the audience can also see it

Just with Ctrl+Mousewheel

I don't have a laptop with HDMI.

For those asking what good is it: This is a useful function for presentation to an audience, such as a class.
You can for instance run a presentation, meanwhile look for some other document (a picture, a movie, a pdf file) privately on your private screen, and present that when ready.
