Extend Your Display on Windows & Mac

A simple guide to setting up extended displays for smoother workflows

You can extend your display on both Windows and Mac to arrange multiple monitors and set a main display. This makes it easier to move your mouse and applications between screens smoothly.

Extending Your Display on Windows 11

Step 1: Right-click anywhere on your desktop and select Display settings.

Step 2: On the display settings screen, click Identify to see which number corresponds to each physical monitor.

Step 3: In the Multiple displays drop-down menu, select Extend these displays.

Step 4: Drag and drop the numbered monitor boxes to match their physical arrangement on your desk. This ensures mouse movement between screens is intuitive.

Step 5: Click Keep changes to save your settings.

Step 6: Select the monitor you want to be your main display and check Make this my main display so applications and your taskbar appear there by default.


Extending Your Display on Mac

Step 1: Connect your external monitor using the appropriate cable or adapter.

Step 2: Open System Settings (newer macOS versions) or System Preferences (older macOS versions).

Step 3: Click on the option to adjust Screen arrangements.

Step 4: In the display settings, you will see representations of your Mac display and the external display. Drag these to match their physical placement on your desk so you can move your mouse and windows smoothly between screens.


Important Note

We recommend setting the external display resolution to 1920x1080 with no zoom.
