I’m doing something like this in my current home setup, but the thing I miss most about multi-monitor is screen sharing on Zoom.

I used to be able to just share one entire monitor and could drag windows I wanted to make visible to that display. Now I tend to share single applications, and have to unshare and reshare to change the view.

First world problems and all, but it would be nice if Zoon let you partition off a part of a display (instead of all or nothing). Would love to draw a bounding box of “share everything in this box.”

I don’t think this annoyance is enough to make me go back, but there are times when I’ve considered it.



Deskpad might be what you’re after! It’s a virtual display in a window, you can share that instead of your whole screen but still get multi-app flows captured

If you're on Linux, xrandr can probably partition your monitor into an arbitrary number of displays (may not work with Wayland)


Zoom supports sharing only a part of the screen if you tab the advanced tab in the screen sharing dialogue.


I can do that in zoom in a mac, you select a box and it shares that specific box.
