multi-monitor host PC from a multi-monitor client Mac?

Is there a way to manage a multi-monitor host PC from a multi-monitor client Mac? So far the GoToMyPC window is confined to one monitor on my client Mac. The support page below describes multi-monitor client PC and single-monitor client Mac, but not multi-monitor client Mac. Thanks.

Hi there,
Mac clients and hosts should support multiple monitors in full.

If you're having trouble, please state these details:

The operating system version
Display hardware
Display connection method
GoToMyPC software version

@VinceCi Right -- Windows Vs. Mac operating system functionality is not identical unfortunately. The Windows client viewer can maximize more easily.

Thanks for the reply. It’s strange that you say that because we can do it from my associates PC. You just click shift+maximize and you get two full screen windows like the host. This isn’t possible on my Mac. Is that what you mean? That it isn’t possible from a Mac?

@VinceCi There is no way to maximize the GoToMyPC viewer (full screen) across mulitple monitors, sorry about that. I don't actually know of an application that does that off hand, as it is not standard functionality.

Any update on this? I know I can stretch the PC window to both of my Mac monitors so that I can see both screens but I can’t go into full screen mode like I can with a PC. This means that I lose the top and bottom of both screens and have to constantly scroll up and down to make it work. This isn’t really a good working environment,

Is there any way to have dual monitors, full screen on a Mac client with a PC host like you can if I had a PC client?

Hi Robert,
It's entirely possible that the adapter is causing the problem. I don't have that exact setup, but I was able t drag the GoToMyPC window across an HDMI and VGA connected monitor setup. If you'd like to give us a call to help confirm, we're here at your convenience.

Hi Robert,
In our tests, stretching the client window was no problem. What OSX are you currently using, and how are your monitors attached currently?

Robert S.

Nope - I can TRANSFER the GoToMyPC viewer back and forth between monitors, but can not EXPAND or STRETCH the viewer so it is visible on both monitors at the same time.

Hi Robert,
You should also be able to drag the GoToMyPC viewer across multiple Mac Client monitors. Is this not possible with your Mac currently?

Robert S.

Thanks Ash, BUT I have a PC host computer and a MAC computer and am trying to have both monitors on my Client computer at the SAME TIME visible, one in each client monitor. I don't think this kind of capability has been built into Go to My PC yet (for Mac?). If I get a PC machine for my client computer will I be able to have both monitors visible at the same time?

Any updates on this post from 2 years ago? I am having the same issue.

Is there any plans to support multi monitor mac client in the near future?

More and more of us are using Mac at home now days

Hi Alex,

Unfortunately no, currently only one monitor will be shown at a time when connecting from a Mac.
