how to extend the window on Chromebook with dual monitors?


I am trying to create a single chrome app to display(by using 3840x1080 resolution) on both monitors.

when I try to move a window, from one monitor to other, I am able to see only half of the window on one screen. Is there any settings to make it work like extended monitors

Dual monitors with chromebook- only half of browser is seen on second monitor


Solution

  • This was apparently a limitation of Chrome OS.

    Keyword was: this bug is marked as Verified (fixed) in May. However, see this comment:

    Please note that this feature was developed for specific enterprise use case, and will always be behind a flag. In other words, this will not be on by default for general use.

    You can enable it using about:flags starting from M44 though.

    So, to use this, you apparently need to set the "Enable unified desktop mode" flag in chrome://flags/. I can't confirm since I don't have a Chrome OS device to test.
