In this short product demonstration, the presenter showcases the new dual‑monitor support in Receiver for Chrome on a Samsung Chromebook Plus. After launching Receiver, a Windows 10 virtual desktop (VDI) is started and the user easily drags the VDI window between two external monitors, maximizing it on either screen. The presenter highlights that earlier Receiver versions forced a maximized VDI to stretch across both displays, which was undesirable. The demo also includes launching a published application (Outlook) from the VDI, showing that it can be maximized on the second monitor while the VDI remains on the first, and can be moved back and forth. The video concludes by noting that this capability makes Chromebooks more attractive for productivity and that Chromeboxes are also viable hardware options.

Hey guys, just wanted to do a quick video showcasing the new dual monitor support within Receiver for Chrome. As you can see here, I have my Samsung Chromebook Plus, my go-to device these days, and I've launched Receiver on it. I'm going to launch my Windows 10 desktop. Here you go, it's just launched. I can then take it and quite easily drag it to the next screen and maximize it. And there you go. If you compare this to previous versions, when you try to maximize the VDI instance, it would stretch across the 2 screens, which was far from ideal. Now I can also launch published apps. So here I have Outlook launched, and again, it's fully maximized here on the second screen with my VDI instance on the first screen. And even this one I can take and easily drag to the second screen. And maximize it there, or take it and move it back here. So there you go. This should make the Chromebook a lot more appealing to many people. Even the Chromebox is a great option now.
