How to share only one desktop on a projector/screen..? Do we need to program.?

In almost all Linux versions and Windows, we can use multiple desktops. I want to view two desktops at the same time in the two monitors. What is the procedure .?

No need to do any special program. We can connect the Desktop to the projector by using different ways (VGA,HDMI..). Most commonly VGA cable will use to connect. The first step is , Connect the VGA cable into the VGA port of the projector and the other end to the Desktop. Then plug the projector power cord into the electrical outlet , After that just turn on the PC and the Projector. If you don't see anything on the screen you may need to change the screen resolution and select the appropriate output device.

When you project the screen to the projector/second screen you need to extend instead of duplicate... In window environment, when you go to projection option (win key+p) select extended screen now you can drag and drop whatever you want in this projected screen.. Linux is also similar case

No need to program because you can use other accessories like HDMI or VGA to project the screen.

Programming is not required. Extending the desktop display in Projector can be done under Windows Display settings or thru Short function keys in keyboard. Just connect the VGA or HDMI or depending on the available display connector, to Projector.

You have to connect the computer to the projector using physical connections like:

 

VGA, HDMI, Composite video... etc.

 

Also, you can use screen mirroring if the projector/screen support this option by network connection (wired and wireless connection)
