How To Set Chrome Rdp For Google Cloud In Full Screen Mode



How to set up a Google Chromebit. The Google Chromebit is one of the easiest “plug and play” media devices on the market. All you need to carry with you to set it up is the Chromebit itself and its power adaptor. This means once you plug in and log in, you’re ready to go. Here’s how that works: 1. Oct 16, 2020 You use this command to set up and start the Chrome Remote Desktop service on your VM instance, linking it with your Google Account using the authorization code. Note: The authorization code in the command line is valid for only a few minutes, and you can use it only once. You can - sortof - go back into full screen mode by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Pause/Break. This allows you to switch without disconnecting and reconnecting, but there are two gotchas: 1. It actually doesn't change the resolution, so it may go into fullscreen mode with the blue bar at the top, but still have scrollbars at the side. I have two monitors and started to wonder if there was a way to consistently open a full screen remote desktop session on the same secondary monitor. By default, the Windows remote desktop client opens on the primary monitor but I like to have Google Chrome open on my primary monitor.

Allow ability to select a subset of current monitors with full screen. Currently can choose all or 1 but cannot choose for instance 2 of 3 (full screen).

That seems useful, I wish it did that. I know about this checkbox that says 'Use all my monitors' but I can't say just use 1 and 2 but not 3, right?

Turns out that you CAN span n monitors but it's just buried/internal and has no UI.

Save your RDP file, and open it in Notepad. Everyone's RDP file is different but yours may look like this:

I can put on selectedmonitors:s:x,y and then use the zero-based numbers to indicate my monitors. To get a list of monitors, I can run mstsc /l to LIST out all my monitors on my machine. I can also use mstsc /multimon as a command line to use multiple monitors.

So I set my selectedmonitors:s:0,1 to use my left and middle monitor and skip my right one.

In this picture, I'm RDP'ed into a remote Windows 10 machine in Azure on Monitors 1 and 2 while Monitor 3 is my local one.

Sweet.
