If you find that the two screens are just mirrored and you can’t operate the second screen, please check your system display settings.

MacOS system settings:
Click the Apple icon on the top toolbar to go to System Settings >> Display Settings, select the DeskIn screen (i.e. extended screen) and set the screen option to "Extended Display". You can also click "Arrange…" to adjust the position of the two screens.
Situation 2: “The current system is not supported yet”?

-DeskIn 2.9.0 or above
-Windows 1903 or above
-macOS 10.15 Catalina or above
-Android 6 or above
