📺 Projector / external monitor

For a live show or event where you want to operate on your laptop but send the visuals to a projector / big monitor 📺 VJam's [PROJ] (a visuals-only window, PC only) is the tool.

🖥️ PROJ = a visuals-only window

• In Cockpit (your control screen), [PROJ] opens a visuals-only window (no UI shows)
• Blend and filters carry over too
• 💡 Opening PROJ keeps your control screen as-is — it just splits into two windows

🎯 Two-screen setup (the main way)

1. Connect the external monitor / projector by cable
2. Set your OS display to "extend" (not mirror — explained next)
3. Open the PROJ window with [PROJ] in VJam
4. Drag that PROJ window onto the external screen → double-click inside the window to make it fullscreen
5. Control on your laptop, visuals-only on the external 👉 the audience never sees you operating 🎛️

🔀 "Mirror" vs "Extend" (this matters)

• Mirror (duplicate): both screens show the same thing (UI included, on both)
• Extend: the two screens work separately (control on your laptop / visuals-only on the external) 👈 this is the one for VJing
• Set it in your OS display settings (the spot differs on Windows / Mac)

📺 Just want it on one screen?

• If you only need visuals on the other screen, fullscreen the main screen with [FULL] / F key + mirroring — it'll show
• Note: [FULL] / F is fullscreen for the main screen (separate from the PROJ window)

⚠️ If it won't show / notes

• PROJ and external output are PC only (not mobile)
• Can't drag the window to the external monitor 👉 check the cable / that your OS sees the monitor
• In the PROJ window, double-click the visuals to toggle fullscreen on / off
• 💡 Always test that visuals show on the external screen before the show
