Hi Anders

I'm afraid this isn't possible. The Surface Hub has a video out DisplayPort cable which can duplicate the screen on another TV/monitor, but you cannot extend the screen or move the Skype bar to another screen.

    Thanks again for your quick response, Dan. :)

      Hi Anders,

      you are not the only one who wants this feature! We have the same setting like you and we have the same feature request ;)
