How to mirror a selected area/window in primary display to second display
I want to project only a selected area or an application window to the external monitor. Is there any software that can do that kind of thing?
OBS — Open Broadcaster Software
- In System Preferences → Displays, do not use Mirror Displays.
-
In OBS, click the + button under Sources and choose Display Capture.
Set ‘Display’ to your normal display.
-
Set Crop to your preferred method of cropping, such as Manual or To Window and configure the crop settings below. Click OK.
-
Use the red handles to resize your Display Capture source appropriately within the black ‘display’ (preview) in the OBS window. This is how/where your display will show on the mirror.
-
Right-click anywhere in the preview and choose ‘Fullscreen Projector (Preview)’, then select your external display to output to.
