Virtual Display

Create a virtual secondary monitor so PowerPoint and Keynote can run their slideshow on a screen Cliqer shares, no physical second display needed.

The desktop app can add a virtual screen, an extra display your computer treats like a real one. Run a PowerPoint or Keynote slideshow on it and share it to the room, while your own screens stay private. No second physical display is needed.

How to add, use, share and remove it on macOS and Windows is in Virtual screen.

Using it with PowerPoint

  1. Add the virtual screen in the desktop app.
  2. In PowerPoint: Slide Show, Set Up Slide Show, Multiple monitors, and choose the virtual screen.
  3. Start the slideshow. It plays on the virtual screen, and Presenter View opens on your real screen.
  4. Share the virtual screen to the room.

The same works for Keynote and any software that can go full screen on a chosen monitor.

Troubleshooting

The slideshow opened on my real screen

Set the slideshow monitor explicitly (PowerPoint: Set Up Slide Show, Multiple monitors), and check the virtual screen extends your desktop rather than mirroring your main display.

The screen didn't appear (Windows)

Windows asks to let Cliqer make changes each time you add one. Accept that prompt; on managed machines, ask IT to allow it.

I can't see what's on the virtual screen

That is expected: it is not a physical monitor. Share it to the room, or move a window back to a real screen to check it.
