If your computer uses the Windows 10 operating system, you will be surprised to learn that Microsoft included several keyboard shortcuts that are very useful for users . Sadly, only a few people know about them.

1. Press the notifications button, located in the lower right corner of the screen.

2. By default, it will only show four options. To see all of them, you have to press the expand button.

3. You will see all the functions available in Windows 10 . You have to choose a project call.

4. There are four projection modes: PC Screen Only, Mirror, Zoom In, and Second Screen Only.

In the future, when you want to share your PC screen again, it will no longer be necessary to follow so many steps, just press Windows + K and choose the device on which you want to project.
