Nick Couchman commented on GUACAMOLE-288:
-----------------------------------------
The challenge, here, is in the steps to negotiating multi-monitor support
between the client (web browser) and the remote server. Thinking through this
at a high level, we need to:
* Be able to detect multiple available monitors via the web browser (this
_might_ be possible with the Presentation API, but I'm not certain about that
and how much of it is exposed down to the JS layers).
* Report multiple monitors to the guacd side (this shouldn't be too hard, but
means adding this piece of the handshake to the protocol).
* Have guacd negotiate multi-monitor support with the remote side (probably
doable, at least in the case of RDP)
* Launch multiple browser windows on the available monitors (again, _might_ be
possible with Presentation API, but at the very least non-trivial)
* Ensure that the ordering and orientation of monitors is consistent (probably
doable, but not trivial).
* Make sure we don't break things for folks wanting single-monitor support in
the meantime - which probably means allowing users to specify (maybe through
Preferences) which monitors they want to use...again, doable, but not trivial.
* Figure out what to do with protocols where multi-monitor support is not quite
as native as RDP - so, for instance, on SSH, do we always stick to a single
monitor, do we try to open multiple terminals on multiple monitors, or...?

> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: guacamole-client, guacamole-server
> Reporter: Slava
> Priority: Minor

> Hello,
> I'm wondering if multi monitor support for RDP (and maybe even VNC?) is on
> Guacamole's roadmap? Currently, when we RDP to a workstation with multiple
> displays, we only see the primary display. Can't find any options in the
> connection settings to configure multiple monitors.
> I've found a ticket on the old Jira where a developer suggested it may be a
> trivial fix that involves adding a few flags and then the ticket went quite
> in 2015...so just wondering if this feature is in fact being added and if
> there is any ETA for it?
> Thank you
