How do I set up StagePlayer to work with my multiple output setups?
If you have multiple projectors or an unusual setup for your output, StagePlayer has the ability to conform and work with your setup.
To stretch the output over multiple projectors:

- Download your show content

- Using your mouse, motion over the outer edges of the black output screen until you are given the resizing arrows
- Drag the arrows until the window completely covers both outputs
- While in "Present" mode, do not click the "Output Fullscreen" button; this will snap the output to one window
