Question

InDesign demo via Microsoft Teams using second screen

Hello,

I teach remotely and my students need to see live demos of me using InDesign. The university requires we use Microsoft Teams (rather than Zoom).

 

The issue is, the the top control panel for InDesign (InDesign, File, Edit, Layout, Type, Object, Table, View, etc) will not move with the application frame (the InDesign window) from my MacBook Pro to my second display screen (LG). It is stuck.

 

Because the camera is on my MacBook Pro, I use my MacBook Pro monitor for the Microsoft Teams display. This is ideal because I want to work with InDesign on the larger screen.

 

Again, the issue is that the essential tool bar (the top tool bar) will not move to the second screen.

 

This doesn't seem like a big issue, but it actually is. The students need to see how I access different tools and they can not see anyting regarding the top tool bar.

 

Please help.

 

Thank you.

Do you have the large monitor set as the Main Display in the OS Preferences?

Is Application Frame switched on or off?

Are you running the application maximized or no?

What macOS version? What InDesign version?

(BTW, MS Teams is a total trial to try to videoconference on.)
