Dev team,

Can you provide the feature for split screens option on Mac OSx. I am able to do it on my windows machine, but not able to do it on a mac. 

Duplicates 3
Dual Monitor on Mac

It would be great if i could view computers with dual monitors on two separate screens when i am using dual monitors on my Mac.

Is there a way to split monitors in Mac OS?

Under View>Select Monitors I either have the option to show All, Monitor 1 or Monitor 2.  When I choose ALL it shows both remote monitors on 1 screen.  Can I split the monitors to show on both screens?

Open Monitors in New Window mac

It would be great to be able to open multiple monitors in seperate windows like you can on the Windows client

Would be nice to know if there are any plans to improve multi-monitor support for the MacOS client.

Any word on whether this feature is going to be rolled out anytime soon?  Thanks!

Is this going to be considered at any point? We've got a few clients who would like to ditch LogMeIn, but cannot until this feature is implemented.

This can already be done. Simply join the session and select the 1st monitor. Then go back to Control webpage and open/join a second session and select the second monitor. 

I have actually made this work with 3 monitor sessions.

Be aware that you can drag windows up to the edge of the session you are on, but then you have to go to other session and pull it the rest of the way over.

Somewhat kludgey, but it works effectively.

God almighty why is this not supported...This is the most basic of basic requirements for a Remote access software.  Free instances of Teamviewer, Microsoft RDP with VPN - all of which do this.  Please get this implemented as soon as possible as it makes this a subpar solution compared to what someone can get for free...

Due to Corona I have to work at home mostly. It would be great if the multiple monitor function, which is available in the Windows version already, would be implemented in the Mac version soon!

Are you planning to do this?

You can already do this. 

1. Join the session and select the 1st monitor. 

2. Return to Connectwise webpage and open/join a second session and select the second monitor.

This seems to be able to handle many monitor sessions, I have made it work on a four monitor work session.

Be aware that you can drag items up to the edge of the session you are on so they show up on the other monitor's session

Then you have to go to other session and pull it the rest of the way over.

Works effectively enough.

This was marked Under Review and was just merged into a much newer ticket that is still marked "Pending Review"

Is this regressing? What's the deal?
