Xander task suitability
Debian 10.
Objective Running two monitors individually controlled, First monitor "Jisti", second monitor, "imaginary teleprompter" (different resolutions xander should should support). "Imaginary telepromter" purports to support two monitors, but,upon further reading, on a restricted basis [ ... ]
Q, A selected recommendation for an applicable non proprietary "duplexer"? software.
I use xrandr for that with Zoom. I just gave a talk this past Friday that way. It should work for Jitsi too. For slide presentations, I make my slides 1024x768 because when I give talks in person, I can always rely on the projector supporting that resolution. To use those slides on my laptop monitor (eDP-1), then use my external monitor (DP-1) for notes and other things, I run: xrandr --output eDP-1 --mode 1024x768 --output DP-1 --auto --right-of eDP-1 If I'm doing live demos on the Jitsi screenshare rather than showing slides, I make the resolution a little higher, 1440x900, which is supposedly a good resolution for YouTube videos: xrandr --output eDP-1 --mode 1440x900 --output DP-1 --auto --right-of eDP-1 The names of your screens may vary. For example, if my monitor is plugged in to the USB-C hub it's DP-1, but if it's plugged in to the laptop directly it's HDMI-1; and on the last version of Ubuntu it was DP1 (no dash). Type xrandr with no arguments to see what your monitors are called. I don't know how well this works with desktops like Gnome or KDE. I use a lightweight window manager, Openbox. I can't help on voice-controlled teleprompter apps; sorry. I write my slides in HTML and JavaScript, and advance using the spacebar or (at live talks) a handheld slide presenter device that emulates a keyboard. ...Akkana
