Dispel supports the ability to connect to a Virtual Desktop with multiple computer monitors. This guide will walk a user through the steps necessary to use this functionality.

First, reserve a VDI through the normal means outlined in this guide:

Next, click Quick Connect

  • This will whitelist your IP address to connect to the VDI.

We will not be using the downloaded RDP file in this scenario.

Now, Launch your local RDP application

  • Ensure that Microsoft Remote Desktop is installed on your computer

  • Enter ⌘(command) + space to open Spotlight Search and enter "remote desktop"

In the Remote Desktop Connection, click the plus icon and then Add PC

In PC Name, enter your Virtual Desktop's IP Address

Click the “Display” tab, check “Use all monitors”, and click Add in the bottom-right.

Now, click the RDP icon for your Virtual Desktop

Copy & paste your username and password from the Dispel Dashboard and click Connect

You’re now connected! If you need any assistance with multi-monitor support on your computer, please reach out to Dispel at support@dispel.com or use the Intercom bubble in the bottom right.
