Switching the view between multi-monitors during a remote desktop session
|
| When connected to a remote host with multiple monitors attached, the user can decide which display to view. NoMachine will detect multi-monitors are available on the server side and the Switch Monitor button will be visible in the NoMachine session menu. It's easy to use. |
- Once you're connected to the remote desktop, open the NoMachine menu using the page-peel or Ctrl-Alt-0 (Fig. 1).
