    Hello @Guy Levi

    If you are using Microsoft Remote Desktop client/RDP connection app on windows/remote desktop for macos to use dual or more monitors when you connect to your dev box, you can follow the below document

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dev-box/how-to-configure-multiple-monitors?tabs=windows-client#configure-remote-desktop-to-use-multiple-monitors

    Please note RDP client installed via Microsoft store doesn't support multiple monitors.
