Re: [libreoffice-users] How to select the screen that the Impress presenter console displays on?

Actually, in this case, because I needed to use external tools like my 
Streamdeck and my tablet, I nuked my machine and set up Windows on bare 
metal just to teach the class.

What I wound up doing was to use the NVidia settings tool to deactivate 
my far left monitor. Then the presenter console showed up on my center 
console. When I was done teaching, I used the NVidia software to turn 
the left monitor back on. It's a pain to not have all the monitors, but 
it made the experience better for my students since I was looking at my 
center screen where my webcam is.

Thanks a bunch for your response, I appreciate it!
