But in some situations you may want to reverse the screen arrangement. For example, if the display adapter (a.k.a. video or graphics card) used to drive your primary monitor puts out a higher quality image, you may want to use it for the display screen instead. Beware, however, that if you use the primary monitor as the display screen, the audience will see your Windows desktop if you do any of the following:
– minimize MediaShout
– click the Show Desktop button in the taskbar
– close MediaShout
– switch to single-screen mode
Each of these actions causes the MediaShout display screen to disappear, thus revealing whatever's behind it. The point of this story: If you use the primary monitor as your display screen, tread carefully. Now that you've been warned ...
To change the display screen arrangement: Choose Monitors > Display on Secondary Monitor (the safe, default arrangement) or Display on Primary Monitor (the risky but sometimes preferred arrangement).
Note that rearranging the monitors does not automatically adjust their resolutions. Typically, the monitor being used for the display screen is set at a lower resolution (e.g., 640 x 480), so when the control screen suddenly appears there, it may not fit. To change the resolution so that it will, see Color Depth & Screen Area.
