"Move a screen live" means handing a screen from one seat to another while everyone keeps working. Not sure which version you have? Open Settings, then System, then About.

Graphics cards

Any graphics card from NVIDIA, AMD or Intel. Every seat runs on it, and games use it at full speed. Plug each person's screen into your PC as you would any extra monitor.

Screens, keyboards and more

  • Each seat needs its own screen, and can have several. Add a keyboard and mouse, a controller, whatever that person likes to use.
  • Game controllers, headsets and webcams work too: give each seat its own.
  • Sound plays at each seat on its own, or shared, whichever you prefer.
  • Two, three or more seats on one PC. One license covers them all.

Games and apps

  • Each person signs in to their own Windows account, with their own desktop, apps and files.
  • Two people can run the same program or game at once, each on their own seat.
  • Most games work, including games with anti-cheat.

The surest test is your own PC: every feature is free for 7 days.
