Hello all,

I have an interesting (hopefully) question: can AB Tutor support multiple displays on the client workstation? What I am trying to achieve is this:

1. The instructor starts a "Show" session.
2. The student workstation will have 2 monitors -- the left monitor will have the student's desktop; the right monitor will display the "Show" session from the instructor. In this way the student can follow along with the instructor.

Is this possible or is such a feature planned for the next release? It would be really nice to have this. Thanks.

cheers,

Yes, this is possible. What you need to do is use the 'Show Thumbnail Window' to display your screen in a small window on the remote students screen. The student can then move/resize this window in the second monitor and 'follow along'.

To use the 'Show Thumbnail Window' command, press the down arrow to the right of the 'Show' button on the toolbar.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
