Hi Kate,

Per your comment below:

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.

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!!

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?

    Hi Kate,

    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.
