Hi ronamazon01,
My colleague tested your set-up both ways and was able to get it to expand by adjusting the zoom level used by the viewer, having it in windowed mode, and stretching across the screens.
If it's mirroring the main Mac screen, then it's coming from the Mac and you would need to make
sure it's set to extend on his desktop settings.
Depending on the differences in screen resolutions between the Mac+external screen vs PC+2nd monitor, you will have to adjust viewer zoom settings and stretch the GoToMyPC viewer window to see both at the same time.
Note, if you are connecting to two screens, once you connect to the PC host over GoToMyPC it will default to showing the main screen of the PC but it will scroll to the 2nd screen if you move your mouse to the edge of the window, like in this video.

Hi Kate,
Per your comment below:

That is true! I can scroll to the next screen. However I would like two screens to show on my mac and extended monitor at the same time without having to scroll. Is that possible? Scroll just take the swiftness out of having two screens. I would like to able to see them at the same time. Thank you for all of your assistance so far!!- KateG8 months agoGoTo Manager
Hi ronamazon01 So the short answer on how to do this with GoToMyPC on your Mac, is to pull up View, then Windowed Mode, then Actual Size, and click and drag GoToMyPC across the two screens. Have you tried that?

Yes. That is the closest way to see both screen through the window of GotomyPC. But when I dragged the window between my two monitors (i.e. mac book and extended monitor) it does not show the other half of the GotomyPC window. It would only display on one screen. No matter how much I stretch it, it would only display 1/2 of the gotomyPC window.
