Side Mirror + Zoom

Zoom

Sharing your entire screen in a Zoom presentation can be distracting. You may have a bunch of open browser tabs, or icons on your desktop that you don't want everyone to see. Side Mirror can help here with the assistance of a cheap $5-10 dummy HDMI dongle.

How does this work?

  • Plug in the dummy HDMI dongle to give your Mac a virtual display.
  • Launch Side Mirror and select the virtual display from the list.
  • Share this virtual display in Zoom or any other screen sharing software.
  • That's it! The viewers will only see the virtual screen, and you can control exactly what you share.

Side Mirror + ScreenFlow

ScreenFlow

Side Mirror can also help with your screencasts with ScreenFlow or other screen recording software. Similar to the above, it requires a dummy HDMI dongle to work, but can make it much simpler to have a clean desktop at exactly the resolution you want to record at.

How does this work?

  • Plug in the dummy HDMI dongle to give your Mac a virtual display.
  • Launch Side Mirror and select the virtual display from the list.
  • Share this virtual display in ScreenFlow or any other screen recording software.
  • Start recording! Only the virtual display will be recorded.

Don't look at the projector

Side Mirror shows you what's behind you so you don't need to turn around. Keep your eyes toward your audience.
