Multiple monitors at the same time

Hey. I see you have added the ability to choose which monitor to stream before you connect.. Which is useful However this isn't practical if you want to view the content of 2 monitors at the remote location simultaneously. Would it be possible to consider adding the ability to stream 2 display signals at once? Or allow hot switching. The quality and features of the remote tool are awesome but its cumbersome to have to connect/ disconnect each time want to view a different screen. : )

I misinterpreted the request

Benjy Boxer: Would really love to see this done, would be a game changer for sure!! There are tons of other posts asking for this specific thing that were lumped into the "switch monitor" issue. Many people would love the ability to stream 2 screens to a similar dual screen setup, somewhere else. Personally, I'd love to fully recreate my home gaming setup on the go, it just doesn't feel the same without discord open on my second monitor.

This should be re-opened, as I would prefer to have it as a hotkey option as CTRL+ALT+I (i - immersive mode toggle)? since you guys already do CTRL+SHIFT+W/M/C/`

complete
You can now switch this via the adapter setting during the stream

Benjy Boxer: This is not completed as requested and the requested functionality is still not possible. This should be un-makred as complete.

I think the most affordable solution to implement is to hot switch as multiple monitor involves too much video encoding and banwidth resources.

Alberto Mora: Hey Alberto. Agree hot switch would probably be the easiest implementation for sure. And would be a great improvement! With H-265, I wonder if this would reduce the bandwidth enough to get HD to 2 screens within 30 Mbps?

720@30fps should be overkill at 3000kbps and you could stream 1080@60fps at 6000kbps so 2 desktops should be possible at 15Mb/s but I don't know if the average hardware encoder is capable of encoding 2 screens and how multiple screens are held by the OS
