Streamed Film Only Shows on Computer not Projector

Modified on: Wed, Jul 26 2023 12:18 PM

Q: Why does the film I’m streaming only show up on my own computer?

Answer: Most streaming apps now block screen mirroring and recording. This includes Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and others. To work around this issue on a classroom AV system (whether projector or external flatscreen monitor) change the computer settings to “Extended Display.”


Mirror and Extended Display Settings:
