If you are showing PC via HDMI or casting – you can use the freeze screen feature so your screen will remain fixed while you continue to navigate your computer. This is useful when you want to look something up or access private information without your students getting distracted or seeing inappropriate content. You can freeze and unfreeze your screen with a single voice request or by pressing the freeze screen button on the Merlyn Remote Control. Example voice requests: "Freeze screen." "Unfreeze screen."
