Infinity Mirror Effect with Screen Sharing on Lessonspace

This article explains how to prevent the infinity mirror effect in Lessonspace, but the same principles apply to all screen-sharing applications.

What is the infinity mirror effect?

When sharing your screen, you may encounter the "infinity mirror" effect. This happens when you share your entire screen while your Lessonspace Space is open and visible within the shared area.

This effect occurs because you're sharing a screen that is displaying the shared screen itself, creating an infinite loop.

How to prevent the infinity mirror effect

There are two ways to prevent this:

  • Switch to another window or tab so that your Lessonspace Space is no longer visible in the area you're sharing.

  • Share only a specific application window or browser tab instead of your entire screen. This is demonstrated in the video below.
