Sharing content with 2nd monitor, where is the menu?

cbb99 — Mon, 26 Apr 2021 10:11:14 GMT

Hi,
through a hardware plugin, I am "pretending" to have a second monitor. From a software point of view I do have a second montior, but physcially I do not.

This is useful in Webex for having the presentation view in Powerpoint: I can project the presentation view on the second (virtual) montior and share this virtual monitor via Webex while having the presenters view on my actual monitor. I can also do other things on my actual monitor while the participants are seeing my slides in full screen mode via the shared second monitor.

However, on my actual monitor I cannot see an menu bar or buttons from webex, e.g. "stop sharing" or any other options. I guess this only visible on my second monitopr. Any workaround that webex is showing the menue taskbar on both monitors?

Cheers!

I have this issue too, has this been fixed ? When sharing the contents of 2nd screen which we do have a physical 2nd monitor not virtual (with Optimized for motion and video and shared audio) we noticed the other items in the menu which we used to have before is gone. From the 2nd monitor we still see menu but it was missing the other menu options Like locking the meeting, health check, mic and audio setting etc. Back in ver. 41.5 and older it was there but we begin to notice this menu gone in ver 41.8. As the meeting Host we would like to be able to control the Menu from the Host computer. If this problem has been fixed or other means to get the full menu while sharing, please post it here. Thanks !
