[REQUEST] Remote Control capable of 2 simultaneous monitors?

[Metanis]

Anyone know of a Remote Control application that can display 2 remote monitors simultaneously on identical local monitors?

I setup a roofing truss designer to work remotely. I bought 2 sets of hardware. Same PCs, same monitors at both ends. But I didn't think through the limitation that the RemotePC program I'm using can only display 1 remote monitor at a time!

I'm wondering if it's even possible with 1 session to have both monitors displayed at the same time on the matching local monitors?

Each system has a 27" primary desktop monitor and a secondary 24" monitor. I was thinking the guy would design remotely using the 27" monitor while keeping his Gmail / Excel / Word running locally on the local 24" monitor.

But that means the 24" monitor on the host machine is essentially a paperweight unless he's willing to keep using the utility to switch between them in the RC app. And it has added a level of confusion to the situation.

TeamViewer does this. You can open each display on the remote computer as a separate window. Drag them to the monitors you want and maximise.

I'm sure tons of other options do the same thing.

Pretty sure SimpleHelp and AnyDesk do as well.

I use Splashtop can do.

Hold on. I use Splashtop daily as part of Datto RMM and I don’t have this feature. I wonder if their version is feature limited compared to buying Spalshtop direct.

Unless you mean viewing both remote displays as one panoramic window? You can resize and stretch that across 2 monitors but it’s not nice. Separate windows with TeamViewer is so much better.

We use Splashtop (for now) and it does this, so the Datto implementation must be crippled for some reason. They are not alone, BTW, we're in the middle of a project migrating away from Splashtop to N-Able Take Control, and THEY don't do multi-monitor. It's such a productivity suck to constantly switch back and forth. We'll probably have to keep at least one seat of Splashtop anyway in case TC goes down.

Yes I purchased direct.

Thanks for the replies, it turns out that our solution already offered this capability and I just didn't search for how to use it! Duh!
