2 screens remote and 2 screens locally

I’m using TeamViewer to connect from my home setup, which has two monitors, to my work computer, which also has two monitors.

When I click the full screen icon in Teamviewer, Teamviewer only takes up one of my local screens.

How can I get it to take up both of my local screens?


So that it basically feel like I'm sitting at the computer in my office
(And only shows the taskbar from my office computer)

Thanks,

Kalle

    Hi @KalleGBG ,
    Thanks for your question, and welcome to our Community!

    Yes, you can set up TeamViewer to work with your two monitors. 😄
    For this set up you will need two sessions, which means you will remotely connect to your work device two times simultaneously:

    1. The first session window you place in one monitor
    2. Then you connect to your work device one more time, and this second session, you move to the second monitor
    3. Then you can change the second session to display the second monitor of your work device (On the remote toolbar, click the menu View and select View monitors. Now click the monitor you would like to display on that remote session. )

    I'm looking forward to your reply to know how it went. 🙋‍♀️
    Best, Carol

    Hi @Carol,

    Thank you so much for your detailed reply and for the warm welcome to the Community! I really appreciate the time you took to explain this and for including images—those are so helpful! 🙏

    I actually considered this solution myself, but I could never have imagined that it would involve starting two connections! That’s such a clever workaround.

    I tried it and it works like a charm!

    All the best,

    Kalle
