Work with multiple monitors on LogMeIn hosts
When connected to a remote host that has multiple monitors, the Monitors button will be available on the remote control toolbar.
Note: You must attach the monitors to the remote host but you do not have to leave the screens turned on to use this feature.

Monitors button to switch between monitors.
The Monitors button is also available under Options on the Remote Control toolbar.
Tip: On a Windows PC, try this shortcut. Press Left CTRL key-Left Windows key-Right/Left Arrow key to switch monitors. To see all monitors at once, keep moving through until you can see all available monitors on the client display.
Multi-monitor or dual monitor display
When both the client and host have multiple monitors, host-side monitors can be cloned "one-to-one" to the client. Screens are automatically cloned upon connection.
When using the Client to connect, this "one-to-one cloning" happens automatically upon connection. You can also select the Monitors icon to switch between host-side monitors.
This illustration shows how the host-side monitors are reproduced "one-to-one" on the client computer. Again, "client" in
LogMeIn Pro means the computer that you're physically sitting at. The one that you use to access is the remote (host) computer.
Select the Monitors button to switch between cloned monitors.
Don't see your cloned monitors? Make sure your host monitors are plugged in and connected to the remote computer. Then on the toolbar, select
and make sure you have all your host screens listed.
Note:
- The Java and HTML remote control clients do not offer multiple monitor support.
- To get full support of all multi-monitor features, you must use HDMI, DVI, or VGA monitor cable. Other cable types may not offer all multi-monitor/dual monitor features.
- Make sure you have the latest host software version installed on your remote host. See Update LogMeIn host software to the latest version. LogMeIn Central users with the Insight module can also make sure the host software is automatically updated on multiple hosts.
