David Wasson commented on GUACAMOLE-288:
----------------------------------------
[~danielm2], I had actually never thought about doing it this way, and while I
agree it's not the simplest work around, it actually works pretty well.
Good suggestion!
Another way I've done it in the past is to open two (or more) browser windows
and log in via RDP as two or more different users. Again, it's a bit clunky,
but works OK.
Specifically for RDP, I think the way to handle would be to spawn additional
browser windows via a clickable links in the ctrl+shift+alt menu for each
additional monitor specified as a part of the guac config. That way you
wouldn't have to worry about client side detection of capabilities.
Actually this might be useful even when the client in a single screen
environment since you'd be able to control your screens as tiles and do a
little more than windows will let you do in terms of tiling your applications.
It would also let you tile things that might require full screen.
Ultimately the issue boils down to if the machine you're connecting to will
support multiple monitors. I feel like maybe the other parts are doable.
Not sure how to handle this with VNC though. SSH you can just open multiple
tabs or browser windows and do multiple sessions that way.

> 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
