The Mac Virtual Display feature allows you to create a virtual monitor on a remote Mac computer during an active Splashtop session. This enables a multi-monitor experience even when the physical machine has only one display or when no external monitor is connected.
This feature is useful for users who need additional screen space for workflow efficiency, testing, or software workflows requiring multi-monitor environments.

How Mac Virtual Display Works
Mac Virtual Display is available only during an active remote connection.
To configure Mac Virtual Display:
Open the Advanced tab in the Streamer and click Configure Virtual Display
Enable Virtual Display
Select your preferred resolution and click "+/-" to add or remove the virtual display
The virtual monitor will appear in macOS as if an external display were connected.
