Currently, dual displays are not supported with Chromebase devices.
No matter how large your monitor, it can become cramped as you add more participants to a meeting. Attach a second monitor to your secondary display port to make sure everyone can see everyone else (and their documents). Using dual displays may affect screen resolution depending on your device.
Note: For Meet on Android devices, please be sure to plug your primary display and secondary display into correct corresponding primary and secondary display ports. If you run into an error, unplug the devices, and re-plug in the correct order.
Add a second screen
To add a second screen, simply plug a second display into your display port. Your hardware automatically recognizes and adds the second monitor as a secondary display.
During a video meeting, the primary and secondary screen displays will show the view of all the participants in the meeting, including the view of the local room.
- When a participant presents to the meeting, the presentation will enlarge onto one screen display and the participant views will reflect on the other screen display.
- The controller or remote will also provide options like pinning participants, changing the layout of the participant tiles, and showing the meeting's chat history.
Use dual displays
When you first start a meeting
No setup is necessary. On the primary monitor, use the remote control, if supported, to join a video meeting .
- The primary (main) screen will display the self view and some participants, depending on the size of the call.
- The secondary screen will display additional participants and the presentation view, when necessary.
Using the remote control
If supported, the remote control interacts with the primary screen, not the secondary screen.
If a person is presenting
The active speaker appears on the primary screen, and the document being presented appears on the secondary screen. For details, see Present to a video meeting.
Pin a participant to the primary screen
Use the touch controller or remote, if supported, to select a participant and pin them to the primary screen. Their image stays on the screen, no matter who else is speaking or presenting. The secondary screen shows either the person actively speaking or the document being presented.
