Our Church is using a program call Openlp for our songs and announcements. we use Space Desk to allow the pastor to extend his laptop (in front) to project to the computer in back which we then use on the extended display. The previous version of the viewer would display underneath the presentation software display. The new viewer always displayed on top of the other software. Is there a way to arrange the viewer to be under the other display.

Hi @imatabor,

Is it the position of the spacedesk display?
You can easily drag the spacedesk display to your desired position using display settings window.
Just right-click somewhere in the desktop screen the click "display settings".

Thanks.

We take the viewer window and drag it to the extended display. So it is at the right screen where I need it. The song software also displays on the extended display. The problem is that the space desk viewer is on top of the song software, I really need it to be under the song software display

Is it possible to send us an illustration or screen shot of this?

Hi @imatabor,
Is your secondary machine also Windows?
Which spacedesk Windows viewer app are you using?
Is it the spacedesk Windows 7 Viewer (v0.9.30) app? Or the spacedesk Windows viewer app from Microsoft Store?

Yes, they are both window's 10. I did end up installing both the app from the store and the one from the website.

What are the differences?

Hi @imatabor,
The app from Microsoft Store is a UWP application for Windows 10 machine.
The app from the website is for Windows 7 machine (but can also run in Windows 10).

Did you try to move first the spacedesk viewer app window then followed by the song software?
And make sure that song software will be on top of the viewer?
Currently we don't have any changes in our viewer app that will make it always in focus or in foreground every time. So far with our testing, we can always move any window on top of the viewer app window.
