I tried using 'Sanscadre', a media player for online distribution that can continuously display images, movies, and PDFs on one screen.
Due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, many people have more opportunities to participate in online meetings. In online meetings, we often make presentations using screen sharing, but switching software to show different types of files such as images, movies, and PDFs is a big hassle.

The distribution page of Sanscadre looks like this. There is a download link at the bottom of the screen, scroll down to the bottom.
Sanscadre is compatible with Windows, macOS and Linux. This time I will use it on Windows, so click 'sanscadre-0.2.0-win-portable.exe' to download it.
Sanscadre is software that does not need to be installed, so you can run it by simply double-clicking the downloaded file.
When the security warning screen is displayed, click 'Run' to start Sanscadre.
The startup screen of Sanscadre looks like this. When you register a file, a list of files is displayed on the left side of the screen, and the contents of the file are displayed on the right side.

The registered file will be displayed in the full window. If you use the window sharing function of the meeting app in this state, you can show the registered file to the other party.
Also, by right-clicking on the screen, you can call up the screen size adjustment function that allows you to change the window size to 'Standard (4: 3)' and 'Widescreen (16: 9)' in one shot.

When I actually used Sanscadre, I could register images, movies, and PDFs in one window, so I could show the files I wanted to show without switching windows, which was a perfect media player for online meetings. Also, the pages of the PDF file can be easily rearranged, and it is easy to insert another file between the pages, which seems to help reduce the preparation time for online meetings.
