How a template works
- Open SquirrelCast and pick a template — choose a starting scene from the gallery and it comes alive instantly.
- Open the projector window and drop it on your projector (your second display).
- Drag the 4 corners to fit your surface — line the scene up with your window, wall, or door.
- Go fullscreen — you're projecting.
