How to treat multi-monitors on client as separate monitors in virtual sessions

[krkhan]

Ref: https://knowledgebase.nomachine.com/FR12K02799

From the article the functionality should be present in >7.0.208 versions.

But I don’t see any option when selecting “Resize Remote Screen” on the client side to use all the monitors. Any ideas how I can get that functionality to work?

Hi! After selecting the “Resize remote display” option did you click the “Fullscreen on all monitors” button? Going fullscreen is required to mirror the client monitors geometries and layout on server side.

I don’t see a “Fullscreen on all monitors” button after clicking “Resize remote display”. Does that need to be available on server config somehow?

If you have more than one monitor connected to the client host, please write a few details like Operating System name and version, number of monitors, name of graphical adapter and drivers version. If your client runs on Linux, attach to the answer also the output of the command xrandr -q executed in a terminal window.

Client side is macOS Big Sur 11.6.1 with the latest NoMachine from the website. I have two monitors attached (via a USB-C dongle). Both monitors are detected fine by the OS and I can use them at the same time.
