On Monterey 12.6, I use the control center to mirror my screen via beamer. If I briefly want to look something up that should not be displayed, is there a faster way to pause mirroring than disconnecting and reconnecting via the control center? Or is there a way to exclude certain apps from being shown?
Thanks

If your beamer/projector is connected as a regular display:
Command-BrightnessDown will toggle the setting of [√] Mirror Displays.

Hello schmunzelmonster,
This page can assist with using AirPlay to stream the Mac's display: Use AirPlay to stream what’s on your Mac to an HDTV - Apple Support
1. Make sure your Mac and Apple TV are on the same network.
2. Click Control Centerin the menu bar, click the Screen Mirroring icon
, then choose your Apple TV.
3. If asked, enter a four-digit code on your Mac.
4. To set whether your desktop mirrors or extends your Mac screen, click the Screen Mirroring icon, then choose Mirror Built-in Display or Use As Separate Display.
In this case you may try using it as a separate display.
If you're having issues related to third-party software, it may help to try reaching out to them for guidance on using it.
Cheers.
ps found that in System Settings > Desktop & Dock > Mission Control at the very bottom I can check "Displays have separate Spaces". This creates a new Desktop when I connect the display. From there I can toggle to mirroring using your shortcut.
neat. Thanks!

Simple things like starting and stopping a movie on a monitor behind and above me are difficult. I tried : ) thanks anyway
