Hi,
to display multiple monitors during a remote session, click on "View" in the tool bar ==> "Active monitor" ==> choose which monitor you want to show ("Show monitor 1" / "Show monitor 2") or optional "Show all monitors".

I tried this, but it is not possible to make the window large enough so it can span both monitors.
This means both remote monitors are scaled down to show up on on monitor instead of on two.

It would be nice if spanning was allowed. (Just remove the restriction on window size might be enough)

Sorry for bumping an old topic, but I seem to have a similar question.

I try to get TeamViewer Personal Edition to display on 2 monitors.

I have 2 PC's both running Windows 7 and TeamViewer 7.0.12313.
Both PC's have 2 monitors.

I read on the website that the new version of TeamViewer would automatically open both screens:
Quote from: TeamViewer.com
Enhanced Multi-Monitor Support
Do you and your clients both work with two or more screens? Then simply display multiple remote screens on a 1:1 scale on your own monitors - simultaneously and without toggling.
http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/currentversion.aspx
But I can't get it to do that.
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

I'm using TeamViewer 7.0.12313 on both machines...

Kind regards,
Sebastiaan

Did you set scaling at 100%?

I tried all 3 options for Scaling: Original, Scaled and Full Screen.
Where can I set the percentage for scaling?

On the computer where you physically are, before you make a connection...

In the 'computers and contacts' side bar

select a contact, right click and select properties.
Select advanced >> scaling

Also set 'Initial monitor'

Then connect

Hi matt,

Thanks for your anwser, it did not solve my issue however...
I tried the following monitor settings: Primary, All, 1 but still the second window won't appear automatically on my second monitor.

Do I need to click on a button, or does the second window open automatically?

Regard,
Sebastiaan

I'm not sure what I did, but I got it to work...

I have been playing with the settings, so I'll try to retrace my steps and post them here...

What I did was:
- Connect to other PC
- Select monitor 1
- Exit fullscreen mode
- Check that "Pop out monitors as individual windows" is on
- Select monitor 2

And there is your second screen. Now enter fullscreen mode in both windows and enjoy  ;D
