That’s where installing a third party loopback application comes in handy. Streamyard also has a solution but it only works with Chrome tabs, so if you need to share sound from another program (like say Premiere for a tutorial!) you’re out of luck. Zoom has their own proprietary solution to this that auto-installs at the time that you install Zoom, but its actual quality isn’t fantastic. So let’s break it down.įirst, why would you need this? Well, anytime you’re screensharing content over services like Zoom or Streamyard that includes audio, you’ll need loopback sound of some kind. It can wind up being a kind of tricky concept, but it has myriad uses, especially in the days of social distancing. This is the concept of virtualy routing the audio out from your computer directly to a destination without needing any cables or additional hardware. I haven't tried putting the second monitor above or below - presumably only one of those will work.Let’s talk loopback audio. With it on the left, VLC seems to treat a negative window position as "use defaults". It only works with the second output on the right.You can't have the non-fullscreen video on the first screen to preview/cue it up before you start & if you exit full screen mode you get a video window on the second monitor, which isn't what you want in a presentation type situation.It's a pain in the neck to set up, and kind of needs to be set permanently.

Sometimes you will see the video window for a moment before it goes full screen.The disadvantages of the above compared to the Mac OS "Fullscreen Video device" menu are: Now, when you start a video, it will run full screen on the second monitor. The value of the Y coordinate doesn't matter much, but mustn't be negative otherwise both values will be ignored. Scroll down and set an X and Y position that are on the second monitor - so set an X position larger then the width of the first screen.Choose "All" in the "Show settings" box at the bottom left of the preferences window.In the interface tab, choose Native, and un-tick "Embed video in interface" (this enables the controls to be separated from the video).Open the preferences dialog (Tools -> Preferences).Make sure you set up the second monitor on the right hand side, then: I've found a semi-satisfactory way to do it. You can also adapt the script to display DVD content (replace the %1 to something like where 'g' is the drive and '2' is the DVD title number), or make the script into a Windows shortcut instead (I won't give details as my posting is already pretty long.!) setting for your install location of VLC. You might also need to change the vlcPath=. If you wanted to use this, you would have to adapt the Vlc_Starter.bat to match the setup of your second monitor - this is the video-x=.

We can then control and stop the video playing from the VLC 'controller' window as normal. This enables us to simply drag-and-drop media files onto the Vlc_Starter.bat file icon, which automatically loads and starts the video on the second monitor. Set vlcPath="C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" Using VLC 1.1.4 under Windows Vista, we came up with the following batch script, which we've put into a file (Vlc_Starter.bat) which can be placed anywhere (for example on the Windows desktop): We also wanted to come up with a really simple solution so that our less computer-savvy operators could find it really easy to show video content.

We also chose VLC to display the content, and for similar reasons as stated we found it rather distracting on having to drag the 'player' window of VLC on to the second monitor. At our church, we sometimes need to display video content on the second monitor which is our projector screen.
