An Ultrawide Screen Sharing Solution and more...
Share specific regions of your ultrawide monitor with built-in annotation tools and whiteboard functionality.
Discover FeaturesPicture this: You're presenting in a Teams™ call from your beautiful ultrawide monitor. Five minutes in, someone asks "Can you zoom in? I can't read anything." You scramble to share just one window instead. Then you need to show your browser. Stop sharing. Find the window. Share again. Awkward silence. Your flow is broken.
When you share an entire ultrawide monitor (like a 49-inch 5120x1440 display) in video calls, the content appears too small for viewers on standard monitors. This is the core problem that RegionMirror solves.
Sound familiar? RegionMirror to the rescue! RegionMirror allows you to share a portion of the screen at a resolution of your choosing using the "Share Window" functionality of Microsoft Teams™, Slack™, Discord™, etc. The shared region can be resized and moved as needed while sharing to capture the applications you want to share. No need to stop sharing to switch between windows, simply drag windows in and out of the shared region as needed!
RegionMirror isn't just for ultrawide screen sharing, it also provides a consistent toolset that can be used no matter which collaboration tool is in use. This includes the ability to draw annotations, use a whiteboard, or blur the screen. That meeting that was scheduled by someone using an unfamiliar collaboration tool? No more fumbling around trying to remember where the tools are- use RegionMirror tools across all your meetings!
RegionMirror's precise region selection feature allows you to draw a custom rectangular area on your ultrawide monitor screen. You can define the shared region as large or small as needed to match your presentation requirements. The region can be resized and moved dynamically during active screen sharing sessions without interrupting your presentation or requiring you to stop and restart the sharing process. This solves the common problem of sharing an entire ultrawide screen where content appears too small for viewers on standard monitors.
RegionMirror supports multiple monitor setups, allowing you to place the shared region on any of your connected displays. Whether you're using a dual monitor configuration or have multiple external displays connected to your Mac, you can choose which screen to share from. The shared region can be moved to a different screen position even while sharing is active, giving you complete flexibility during presentations. This is particularly useful for users with complex multi-monitor workstations who need to share content from specific displays.
The Presenter View feature provides a scaled-down preview of what your audience is seeing in the shared region. This allows you to keep the main mirror window positioned off-screen (to maintain screen real estate) while still being able to monitor exactly what content is being shared. The presenter view shows a smaller, manageable version of the shared region, making it easy to verify that your presentation content is visible and properly formatted for your audience. This feature is essential for maintaining presentation flow without constantly checking the main mirror window.
RegionMirror's privacy protection feature allows you to instantly blur the shared screen for all participants while you input sensitive information such as passwords, personal data, or confidential content. With a single click, you can protect your privacy during screen sharing sessions without having to stop sharing or switch windows. This feature is particularly valuable when you need to access private information during a presentation, ensuring that sensitive data remains hidden from viewers while maintaining the flow of your presentation.
RegionMirror includes smart annotation tools that allow you to add arrows and text annotations directly onto your shared screen. These annotations are fully moveable and resizable, giving you complete control over how you highlight and emphasize important information during your presentations. Unlike platform-specific annotation tools that vary between Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Slack, RegionMirror's annotations work consistently across all collaboration platforms, providing a unified presentation experience regardless of which tool your meeting uses.
The integrated whiteboard feature provides a comprehensive drawing and annotation workspace within RegionMirror. You can draw shapes, lines, add text, and create freeform content directly on your shared screen. All whiteboard elements including shapes, lines, and text boxes are moveable and resizable, and text can be edited after creation. This whiteboard functionality works consistently across all collaboration platforms, eliminating the need to search for platform-specific whiteboard tools during meetings. Whether you're brainstorming, explaining concepts, or illustrating ideas, the whiteboard is always accessible and ready to use.

Draw a region on the selected monitor and click within the region to begin sharing.
Drag windows into the shared region. Arrange your applications exactly where you need them.
Share the window from your collaboration tool. The window will always be outlined in a green frame with the title "Share this window!".
From the menu bar or dock icon, select Show Presenter View. Resize and/or move as needed.
Turn the slider on the toolbar to on, and select the arrow or text tool.
Click the blur icon to protect sensitive information during presentations.
Click the whiteboard icon on the toolbar, and select from the available tools.

It looks absolutely stunning in my office, and it certainly upped my productivity with the additional screen real estate. The one thing I hadn't accounted for was what would happen when I tried to share my screen with colleagues and customers...
