Michael,

Okay. I found this web page:
<https://jitsi.org/blog/introducing-presenter-mode/> and havn't yet figured
out how to invoke it.

For Zoom meetings I found this page:
<https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362153-Sharing-your-screen-content-or-second-camera>
which says that only the host can grant that ability to a user (which is
okay with me as I'll have the host do it) and, two of the screen sharing
options are: one or more specific applications and a portion of your screen.

I'll be scheduling up a private Zoom meeting with the conference corrdinator
and we can try those two options and see what they do.

What I hope we can do is to use the webcam as the primary source, but if I
have another widow open with the PDF slides displayed (xpdf, mupdf,
impressive) be able to share individual slides when I want them shared with
attendees.

I'll report results when I have them.

In the meantime I'll see what I can find about jitsi presenter mode.

Regards,

Rich
