Switching between Duplicate (mirror) and Second screen only, so you can hide your screen from your students

This article will show you how you can easily switch between Duplicate and Second screen only on the Teacher Monitor and Interactive Digital Display in some general use classrooms.

1. Use Windows + p to toggle the screen choices menu.

The two choices you may want to toggle between are Duplicate and Second screen only.

Duplicate shows the exact same image on the Interactive Digital Display as it does on your Teacher Monitor.

Second screen only will only use the Teacher Monitor and not the Interactive Digital Display. Use this feature, if you want to keep what you are viewing private (such as for grades, comments, or other confidential information).

Options include: PC screen only, Duplicate, Extend, and Second screen only

Be sure to switch back to "Duplicate" to share your screen on the Interactive Digital Display.

Before you finish your class session and log out of the computer, return the setting to Duplicate.

Windows 11

The Interactive Digital Display uses Windows 11. If you need a primer on Windows 11, take a look at this LinkedIn course (you will need to login with your CSUF credentials):
