Reversing my screen and locking the computer

[CommTogetherAP]

I have a Mac and been using your app for a while. I don't change the setup. I run a small virtual screen with a teleprompter. Everything has been kept up to date. I left my Mac on overnight (as I always do), and this morning, everything was reversed (text back to front). I did my best to check the settings on the app - nothing changed. If I turn it off, things return to a standard setup for a Mac. When the app is running if I try to turn off the main screen - the whole computer locks. If I try to check for updates on your app - it starts (blue bar) and then locks the computer.

I am running Sonoma 14.5

Attached is what I see.

I even tried going on here to download the latest version - made no difference.

Hi there - sorry for the trouble. Please check whether you have horizontal Flip enabled under the Stream Virtual Screen of Virtual - FHD (as streaming is enabled to the Dell monitor). If so, that will make the image flip horizontally. Try clicking the flip icon and see if the image is back to normal.

For the record - that was not the issue. It was the main monitor that was being flipped and there was no option showing to flip it.

I turned the app back on - for the first time in a few hours. I had not changed any settings and it worked. The only thing it did (again without me touching it) was change the smaller display to be the main one. When I attempted to turn back to the Dell Display as the main - it again reversed everything (back to front writing on the Dell Display). I then looked again and it had not taken/saved the Dell Display to be the main one - managed (to work out with the back to front text) to try again to make Dell the main - and this time it worked.

This was a major glitch and I can't explain it. Everything worked without the app. Nothing changed on the app from what I had been running for months and had left on overnight. Equally can't explain how after turning the app off for a few hours gave me a new problem that resulted in another problem I managed to fix.

Nothing really makes sense with this behaviour.

Will see what happens overnight.

I am not sure what could be the issue, but based on the original screenshot it looks like the virtual screen is associated to multiple displays and streaming to the Dell display (instead of the FHD one).

You might simply want to get rid of the Virtual Screen and create a new one. You don't necessarily need to associate it to any display display just for streaming (if you don't want auto-connect), or you can only configure the auto-connect part of the association (to the FHD display only, not multiple display), and skip enabling auto-streaming there. You can instead start streaming anytime you want from the Stream Virtual Screen menu manually - or you can even configure auto-resume for the stream there:

Thanks. But I am still a little confused as to why this has been happening. Having left it overnight, it appears fine for the moment. I can see what you mean as it being connected to multiple displays, so I have deleted and recreated the virtual screen. I only use that small screen with my teleprompter so it is constantly streaming. Not sure there is an advantage in turning it off and on all the time? I am trying to follow what you are saying. I do still need to have the virtual screen associated with the FHD? All I want is an extended display to the virtual screen that is flipped so I can read it on the teleprompter. Hope that makes sense. ***@***.***&source=web_ext&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcommtogether.com.au%2F> ***@***.***&source=web_ext&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fadperl%2F> *Book a meeting: click here ***@***.***&source=web_ext&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcommtogether.com.au%2Fbooking>* I
