Use Multiple Monitors with Remote Desktop

Permalink

Many workers in the technology arena have been remoting into their computers for a long time. And many have been using multiple monitors for a long time too. It recently came to my attention that quite a few people don't realize that ever since version 6.0 remote desktop has supported multiple monitors.

To get multiple monitor support in Remote Desktop you had to have monitors of equal resolution and they had to be set up the same way.

I use a laptop and many times at home connect it to a secondary monitor with a different resolution. So I couldn't use multiple monitors with Remote Desktop.

But now as of Remote Desktop Client 7.0 multiple monitor suppport on monitors of different resolutions is supported.

To enable multiple monitor support - BEFORE you click "Connect", click the "Options" button and go to the "Display" tab. Just click the "Use all my monitors ..." checkbox.
