Two side-by-side images on projected screen

I’ve hooked up my new Macbook to a projector via an HDMI cable - and I’m getting two side-by-side images of my computer screen on the projector screen. Not sure what’s going on - I’ve hooked it uo to my TV lots of times with no issue. Messing around in Displays doesn’t seem to help.

Any thoughts?

Video wall adapter MacOS issue Hi, I have a daisy-chained video wall. The first of the nine screens is connected via hdmi to the computer, the next ones are connected to each other via a digital port. When I connect a PC windows, a presentation is displayed on all screens without the any problems. When I connect MacBook, the presentation is displayed only on this first screen. Sometimes when I change the resolution two more screens flashes but the rest don't display anything. What am I doing wrong? Could it be that wall doesn't work with MacOS? Do i need some special adapter?

HDMI Connection to External Monitor I purchased a third party HDMI USB-C adapter to connect an external monitor to my MacBook Air. It's plugged in and you can see the background graphic on what would be the home screen on my mac but you cannot see any of the windows that I have open on my mac. I have tried all of the Display setting options with no success. It will not scan for new displays. The only way the external monitor mirrors what is on my mac screen is if I Airplay my mac to my smart TV but then my family cannot use the TV.

Keynote presenter display doesn't show on Samsung TV I have an M1 Mac Air updated to current MacOS. At home I have it connected to an external monitor. When I play a Keynote presentation with this setup the presentation shows on the external monitor and the presenter display shows on the laptop monitor. I am going to use this presentation in a classroom with a Samsung TV. I connect to the TV's HDMI port via an HDMI cable that is connected to my laptop with an Apple USB C to HDMI adapter. When I connect the laptop it is mirrored on the TV. When I play the presentation the fullscreen presentation is mirrored on the laptop and TV, I don't see the presenter display on the laptop. I have enabled presenter display in Keynote settings, I have also tried both HDMI ports on the TV. It would be very helpful to have the presenter display visible on the laptop but I don't know why it works with one external monitor and not the other one and I don't know what else to do to get it visible.
