Take a look at this:

  • If you're on a Windows laptop, press the Windows Key + P simultaneously while connected to the projector.
  • You will want to select "Duplicate" to mirror your screen directly.
  • If you choose to have two separate screens, you will need to select "Extend"

  • If you are on a Mac, open your system settings while connected to the projector.
  • System Settings > Displays > Mirror/Extended Display (Choose the one that works best for you)
    • A second way to access this is to open it from the menu bar:
      (Control Center > Screen Mirroring > Mirror Entire Screen/Mirror This Window/Use as Extended Display)
