Presenting on an Ultrawide Monitor Without Sharing Your Entire Screen
Designers, developers, and presenters love ultrawide displays — until it's time to share. ZoneShare creates a focused presentation area on your 21:9 or 32:9 monitor while keeping the rest of your desktop private.
The Wide Screen Presenter's Dilemma
Your monitor shows everything. Your presentation shouldn't.
Ultrawide monitors are built for multitasking: code on one side, browser on the other, notes in between. But when you present, all of that context becomes noise. Viewers don't want to watch you hunt for a window across 32 inches of desktop.
The bigger the monitor, the more visible your working desktop — and the harder it is to keep a presentation clean, focused, and professional.
- Too much on screen. A busy desktop dilutes your message and makes presentations feel unfocused.
- Scaling problems. A full 21:9 or 32:9 share shrinks your content to fit a 16:9 viewer.
- Privacy exposure. Design files, code, messages, and notes are visible to everyone.
- Awkward transitions. Moving between apps on a wide desktop is a slow, visible process for the audience.
Create a Focused Presentation Area
ZoneShare turns part of your ultrawide screen into a clean presentation stage.
- Frame your stage. Place a 16:9 or custom frame over the content you want to present.
- Keep the rest private. Everything outside the frame stays off-screen — notes, code, messages, and all.
- Present with tools. Add spotlights, drawings, zoom, and a timer directly inside the shared area.
With ZoneShare, your presentation area is whatever rectangle you choose — a Keynote window, a Figma artboard, a browser tab, a document. That region is mirrored into the Zone Share window or the Zone Share Camera, and the rest of your ultrawide desktop never appears.
Because the region is a standard ratio, it renders large and sharp for every viewer. Combined with drawing and annotation, it's a complete presentation workflow. If you often present standard-ratio content, our guide to sharing a 16:9 area is a good next read.
