How to switch monitors and view multiple monitors
Windows and Mac
When in a remote access session, you can switch monitors by clicking the “switch monitor” button in the toolbar at the top of your screen. The blue dot on the monitor icon will indicate the number of the monitor that you are viewing or a multi-monitor symbol in this example.
In the example below, the first two menu items let you select Monitor 1 or Monitor 2 from the remote system to view on your screen. (I don’t know why Lenovo and/or Windows gave my Monitor 2 laptop screen such a long name.) The blue dot on the monitor icon shows the number of the monitor that is being access or a multi-monitor indicator.
The third menu item lets you view all monitors from the remote computer on one local screen. This is also known as multi-to-one.
The final option lets you view each remote monitor in a separate window on your local computer and you can arrange those windows on multiple local monitors. This is also known as multi-to-multi.
iPhone and iPad
On iOS devices, including iPhone and iPad, there is a similar toolbar button available when the menu is activated at the bottom of your device screen. Selecting this button gives you
On an iPhone (below), you have the options to view one screen at a time or both remote screens at the same time on your phone screen.
