Using the App
Multiple Screens
Remotle can open your workstation on every screen of your device, up to 4 screens. Each screen of your device becomes a screen of your workstation, at that screen’s own resolution and refresh rate.
When you connect, Remotle tells your workstation how many screens you have and their sizes. The workstation arranges its displays to match, so windows and the pointer move between screens as they do on your device. Each screen is streamed separately, and the Stats tab of the session menu shows figures for each.
Use all screens
Section titled “Use all screens”Use all screens is on by default. To use a single screen:
-
Press F2 to open the session menu.
-
Open the Local tab.
-
Turn off Use all screens.
Remotle uses your main screen only. Turn it back on to spread across every screen again.
The setting is saved on this device. A device with one screen ignores it.
Each screen shows your workstation full screen. The Stream menu has Fullscreen on All Screens as a second way to switch, when the PC has more than one screen.
Each screen opens in its own window, titled Remotle — Monitor 1, Remotle — Monitor 2 and so on, full screen on each. The Settings menu has Fullscreen on All Screens as a second way to switch.
Each screen shows your workstation full screen.
An iPad connected to an external display shows your workstation on it as a second screen. See iPad second screen.
Windowed sessions
Section titled “Windowed sessions”When the session is in a window, your workstation’s desktop follows the size of the window. Resize the window from any edge and the desktop is resized to match. A window or Split View of any size scales the desktop to fit.
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Smallest desktop | 1280 × 720 |
| Most screens | 4 |
Full screen
Section titled “Full screen”Sessions open full screen on every screen by default.
| Platform | Enter or exit full screen |
|---|---|
| Windows and Linux | Stream menu, Enter Fullscreen or Exit Fullscreen |
| Mac | Control+Command+F, or Settings menu, Enter Fullscreen or Exit Fullscreen |
On a Mac, Command+M minimises the session window, including from full screen.
iPad second screen
Section titled “iPad second screen”Connect an iPad to an external display and Remotle shows your workstation on it. You control the session from the iPad, so the iPad’s own screen is your working screen and the display is the second screen.
Questions
Section titled “Questions”Can I choose which of my screens Remotle uses?
Section titled “Can I choose which of my screens Remotle uses?”Use all screens uses every screen or your main screen only. To use a different single screen, make it your main screen in your device’s display settings.
My screens have different resolutions. Does that matter?
Section titled “My screens have different resolutions. Does that matter?”No. Each screen of your workstation takes the size of the screen it is shown on. A 4K screen and a 1440p screen become a 4K display and a 1440p display on the workstation.
Does using more screens use more bandwidth?
Section titled “Does using more screens use more bandwidth?”Yes. Each screen is streamed separately, so two screens use roughly twice the data of one when both are changing. A still screen uses very little.
I plugged in another screen during a session. What happens?
Section titled “I plugged in another screen during a session. What happens?”Remotle picks up the change and adds the screen to the session.
