Good morning,

I work from home on a Chromebook, and use the Android Microsoft Remote Desktop app (version 8.1.80.431) to connect to my Windows PC at work. Now I have bought an extra monitor, to work on two screens (just like at work). But I can only mirror my Chromebook screen onto the extra monitor.

Does anyone has a solution to edit Microsoft Remote Desktop, in order to use two monitors?

Thanks.

    Hi，

    Please be informed that Microsoft Remote Desktop App does not support multi-monitors to display remote session currently. Appreciate your understanding.

    You can post your feedback to Microsoft Remote Desktop UserVoice for this feature.

    And you can try other third-party remote app if you would like to use two monitors.

    Thanks,

    Eleven
