Hi!

I want to use my laptop screen for full screen preview, but when I activate it, vMix itself seems to be on top, preview barely showing at the bottom of the screen, on the toolbar.

Happens on both computers, a 6 year old laptop, and also the new laptop. Both have Win10.

The version is 21.0.0.61.

You can minimize the vMix window but then how will you operate it ?

Believe it would be better to attach a cheap monitor to your laptop and send the full screen there

I use a controller, and need the laptop's 15" screen for preview. I can't fit another big monitor in my planned setup, so that's why I asked for such a precise solution.

I still wonder if there was a way to force the preview on top.

Then completely minimize your vMix window after setting fullscreen (-)
if you want that window back then hit Alt-Tab to select it (is basic Windows stuff)

Yes, I know how that works.

I was just wondering why this happens, and if there was a workaround (or a bug fix) that keeps vMix operational. Would be a lot more handy to toggle fullscreen on and off from the controller, since I also need the interface every now and then.

Now if I operate vMix while minimized and need to do something my controller doesn't, it's a real hassle since a midi-controller doesn't control minimizing/maximizing.
