Use Multi-Monitor Support - TeamViewer Support
<main> <article class="userContent"> <p>Multi-monitor support allows users to connect to devices with multiple monitors.</p><p>When remotely connected to a device with multiple monitors, easily switch between these monitors from the TeamViewer remote toolbar. If the remote device has the same number of screens as yours, you can also separate them on your monitors.</p><p><strong>💡Hint</strong>: TeamViewer can only capture what the graphics card on the remote device displays. For example, if the remote screen only has one monitor, TeamViewer cannot generate additional monitors. Only the physical state of the remote device can be provided. </p><div class="blockquote"><div class="blockquote-content"><p class="blockquote-line"><em>This article applies to all users in all </em><a href="https://www.teamviewer.com/pricing/" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc"><em>licenses</em></a><em>.</em></p></div></div><p><br></p><h3></h3><h2 data-id="how-to-switch-between-monitors">How to switch between monitors</h2><h3 data-id="on-windows">On Windows</h3><p>In the TeamViewer toolbar, click on the icon with the two monitors. </p><div class="embedExternal embedImage display-large float-none"> <div class="embedExternal-content"> <a class="embedImage-link" href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032394/uploads/OI94ODOX5GHG/image.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener ugc" target="_blank"> <img class="embedImage-img" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032394/uploads/OI94ODOX5GHG/image.png" alt="image.png" height="59" width="754" loading="lazy" data-display-size="large" data-float="none"></img></a> </div> </div> <h3 data-id="on-macos">On macOS</h3><p>In the TeamViewer toolbar, click on <strong>View</strong> and <strong>Active monitor</strong> in the menu.</p><div class="embedExternal embedImage display-medium float-none"> <div class="embedExternal-content"> <a class="embedImage-link" href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032394/uploads/X07LYQ0XYZVW/image.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener ugc" target="_blank"> <img class="embedImage-img" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032394/uploads/X07LYQ0XYZVW/image.png" alt="image.png" height="327" width="296" loading="lazy" data-display-size="medium" data-float="none"></img></a> </div> </div> <p> </p><h3 data-id="-1"> </h3><h2 data-id="how-to-select-a-monitor">How to select a monitor</h2><h3 data-id="on-windows-1">On Windows</h3><p>In the <strong>View tab, </strong>select the number of monitors you want to show <strong>(1)</strong> or show all monitor screens simultaneously in a single window<strong> (2)</strong>.
