Multiple monitors match between Mac and Windows?
I am using Windows to connect to a remote Mac. Both computers have the same multiple monitors setup (27" 1440p x 2). Is there a way to use both of my local PC monitors to show both remote Mac's monitors? It seems only display switch is available so I can only see one remote Mac monitor at a time.

Hi guys. We have a new version of Jump Desktop for Windows beta (8.4.0 and later) for this which lets you do this without a workaround: Open up Jump Desktop for Windows -> File -> Settings -> Updates -> CHECK Beta updates. Then click 'Check for beta updates' and install the update.
Once you install the beta, connect to a multi-mon machine and then click Remote -> Displays -> Displays as separate Windows. This will open up one window per remote display which you can then go full screen on individually.

I tried the beta and it does allow both of my remote Mac monitors to show up on my local Windows monitors. Great job!
Now I run into a different issue: Both my Windows monitors are now showing remote Mac screens in fullscreen. How do I switch back to my local Windows desktop? Is there a key or hidden menu to minimize Jump Desktop?

Hi there. We're beta testing this right now: https://changelog.jumpdesktop.com/?label=12673, specifically: https://changelog.jumpdesktop.com/new-multi-monitor-experience-for-fluid-4aUVfq

@Richcampers. Here you got: Here's how to install the betas: https://changelog.jumpdesktop.com/how-to-install-jump-desktop-betas-39lkd2 . Note though: The multi-monitor screen resolution matching also requires updates to the ‘Connect’ app running on the remote side - would recommend updating the remote side too for best possible experience.

Greetings Jump Desktop Support
Okay as per the other discoveries in this thread - I have ANOTHER scenario. Mac to Windows separate monitor windows is currently not working for me with all beta updates installed. The dual monitor windows setting DOES work from Windows to Mac Is this correct? -
When going from Mac to Windows remote - On the Mac menu: "remote > displays > show displays as separate window" isn't there - just Cycle Displays , Match Display Resolution, All Displays, Display 1, Display 2
I am currently running beta versions of both, and I've restarted the Windows machine, and re launched the Mac Jump Desktop client -
Hi, is this feature also possible to use without using Connect or Fluid, but just a simple VPN into a Windows machine over the native RDP protocol built into Windows?
I can see the "Displays in Separate Windows" option in the View menu, but it's grayed out so I can't click it. I like to be able to remote into many different machines on a Windows network and so I typically use VPN and RDP without any other Jump software installed other than on the machine I am using to Remote into workstations with.
