EasyWorship is designed for extended desktop display. That means you can have a monitor that contains only the control screen for EasyWorship and another monitor, like a projector or TV that displays the output for the audience, and, or the foldback content for people on the stage.

Basic Hardware Requirements for Extended Desktop

  1. A single video card with two or three video outputs that supports two or three extended desktops. (NVIDIA GTX Video Card Recommended)
  2. A laptop with a video output connection. (VGA, DVI or HDMI) (NVIDIA GTX Video Card Recommended)

Dual Monitor Troubleshooting


 ISSUE
CAUSE
RESOLUTION
1.
 I see the same thing on my second monitor as I see on my primary monitor.
 Your Windows desktop has not been extended to the second monitor.
 Enable the Windows Extended Desktop. See below: Enabling Windows Extended Desktop.
2.
 I enabled the Windows Extended Desktop, but it disables itself after I apply the setting.
 You have an Intel Graphics card, or you do not have your projector connected to your secondary video port, or the projector is not turned on.
 Use the instructions in the Intel Graphics Monitor Setup to enable the Windows Extended Desktop for your Intel Graphics card. Connect your projector or secondary monitor to the secondary monitor port on your graphics card and make sure that the monitor, or projector, is turned on.
3.
 Windows Extended Desktop is enabled, but EasyWorship still displays the output on my primary monitor.
 The secondary monitor is not selected as the output monitor in EasyWorship.
 Click the Edit menu, then Options. In the settings, Select Monitor 2 (Secondary) for the Output monitor. Click OK.

If you still need further assistance, please contact EasyWorship Support.
