Simultaneous Multi-Monitor

Leon Scheid

Allow streaming of 2 or more monitors at once. This would allow streaming in workstation enviroments or Multi-Monitor gaming for sim-racing.

I've been using Windows RDP for almost 3 months now working from home. I was panning around a large 3D model in Revit and it was extremely slow. Decided to try Parsec since it works so well for gaming, and it was a revelation! 3D movement was identical to being on my work computer!

If dual-monitor support was added I could use this full time for work. I really need a second monitor as I have multiple models and applications open and frequently need to coordinate between 2 or more different windows. I'd happily pay for this feature alone.

Vincent Finney: I absolutely agree!! I have been dying for the ability to use multiple monitors with parsec.

What's the status on this feature ?

Gby: it looks like they released it under Parsec for Teams on june 25th https://parsecgaming.com/changelog/. You can also see it here: https://parsecgaming.com/teams/ scroll down to the feature list. hopefully it'll hit the free tier eventually.

Caleb S: When I said I'd pay I was not expecting to have to pay for a minimum 5 license to get this feature. I hope they have single-license as well in the future. I am okay with paying but it's just me using Parsec, I can't justify paying for 5 license, or $150 per month just for this feature alone.

Caleb S

Cuong Huynh: I totally agree. I think they're planning on making these features available outside of the Teams prgram and sent out an email talking about it. It also had a link to join an early access list so if you get that email I'd check it out.

Hopefully they make a more reasonably priced tier without quantity restrictions. Most of the enterprise / creator features I don't really need, like SSO and the 4:4:4 encoding. Multi monitor is just so useful for anyone that it really needs to be more accessible.

Caleb S: Looks like they released Parsec Warp, which is $9.99 a month and you dont have to buy 5!

Cuong Huynh

Would be nice. Dual-Monitor could hinder performance and I understand that, so maybe disable gaming when more than 1 monitor is being displayed?

I would even pay/donate just for this feature alone.

Cuong Huynh: "Disable gaming" what does that even mean?

Also if you have a recent GPU (pascal or turing) yuo can easily handle multiple 1080p60 streams without problems.

I really need simultaneous multi-monitor as well. Parsec runs so smoothly, this is the main holdback. (if they implement the hotswitch key, that would be a big step to ameliorate this need though)

Jon Sovsky

This is needed.

Bump

Is there any reaction from the developers yet? Especially now that Linus Tech Tips made a Video about it?

Julian

People have been requesting this for years guys, sad that this is not yet an option

Robert Gabriel

Please add this, would be awesome

Tom

I'm using Parsec to stream from a Windows VM to a low power thin client as a kind of VDI. Performance of one monitor is excellent, but it would be great to be able to use both monitors of the thin client.

Merged in a post:

Ability to cycle between monitors from Client

Xen0sys

As per https://parsec.canny.io/feedback/p/multi-monitor-support--monitor-selection-capability

There needs to be a way to switch monitors on the client
