You can change the mode for remote desktops to display on all the monitors or on specific monitors connected to the client device. Remote applications always display on all the monitors connected to the client device.
If you have multiple monitors, you can display a remote desktop on all the monitors or on specific monitors. You can select up to three monitors.
Only one remote desktop can run in multiple-monitor mode at a time.
Prerequisites
- This feature requires Chrome OS 86 or later.
- This feature is not supported if Unified Desktop mode is enabled for the client device.
- For enrolled Chrome devices, this feature requires an administrator to configure the following settings in the JSON configuration file for the Horizon Client app.

Procedure
What to do next
To exit multi-monitor mode, point to the top of the remote desktop window until the menu bar appears and click the Exit the multiple displays mode button.
The multiple-monitor feature supports only one desktop session at a time. To switch to a different desktop, first exit multiple-monitor mode for the current desktop. Then switch to the other desktop and enter multiple-monitor mode.
Certain actions, such as minimizing the display, can cause the session to exit multi-monitor mode automatically. To enter multi-monitor mode again, point to the top of the remote desktop window until the menu bar appears and click the Use Multiple Monitors button.
