Zoom Rooms: Connecting to the External Monitor (Windows)
You do not need to connect to the external monitor to share content to the Zoom Room. Connect to the external monitor to help with sharing content to Zoom, like showing a PPT in presenter mode or displaying notes on your laptop monitor while sharing content on the external monitor.
Step 1: Locate the HDMI cable laying out on the instructor desk. It may be attached to a USB-C adapter labeled with the room number. If your computer has an HDMI port, you may remove the adapter, set it to the side and plug the HDMI cable into your PC.
Step 2: Your screen may flash, and you should see your display come up on the external monitor.
Step 3: Navigate to Settings>System>Display to verify display settings.
Step 4: Under multiple displays, set to "Extend these displays"
Depending on your computer’s settings you will see a representation of the external monitor being used as a mirror for your desktop (left image below) or as an extended display (right image below). If your computer is already using the external monitor as an extended display (right image below) you may exit. Your external monitor is connected correctly.
Step 5: If your computer was set to use the external monitor as a mirror for your desktop, scroll down and locate the option for “Multiple Displays” (as shown in the screenshot). Click on the dropdown and select the option for “Extend these displays”. Wait (the screen may blink) and then scroll back up to verify the representation image of your external monitor matches the image on the right in Step 4. If so, then you may exit the settings application. Your display is connected correctly.
