With iPadOS 16 beta released, iPads with M1 chip are enabled with Stage Manager supporting external display. RD Client is one of the best apps I have used on iPad. Can’t wait to see this app taking the full advantage of the full-display support on external monitor!

If we use the iPadOS 16 (stage manager), it's horrible. :(

@Devon9720 Indeed. Last time I tried it wasn't working properly but it would be absolutely brilliant to have it working at full screen on the external monitor!!

would love to see it supported on non-M1 iPad Pro's as well - even if the option is just to have one RD window 'full fidelity' on the external monitor and keep the iOS screen for (eg Teams or email) that would be a great boost.

 

disappointed with Apple for leaving the, still very capable, iPad Pros behind ... this isn't going to drive me to upgrade!

The app support to the external display on iOS 16.2 must be improved. Simply put, it does not work. Resolution, geometry, mouse click … This is a killer application for anyone interested on mixing the iPad with the PC experience.

This would be a game changer for me and my team

Really wish that RD Client App can fully support external display.

Really wish RD Client has fullscreen mode on external screen on iPadOS 16, I have to resort back to use Chrome Remote Desktop just to get the fullscreen feature… But Chrome’s Remote Desktop has a lot of glitches with keyboards

I bought a $2500 iPad just so I could use full screen RD Client

This is probably the only thing holding the success of windows in the cloud back..
i have this amazing huge screen, cannot use windows on it because its lacking app. Please allow full-display support like you do on a mac

Copper Contributor

I 100% agree please add full display support on external monitor. It's been a year what is the hold-up?

 

Product Manager, please provide a reason this is not implemented.

Does anyone know of Alternative Apps?

I have been using a Windows365 desktop through the RD Client for some time now and it is awesome, what would make it even more awesome would be full screen on an external monitor when I travel in to the office. It is the one thing the lets the whole experience down. 

 

Come on Microsoft is it really that hard to make this happen?

Trying the latest version of rd client (10.5.1) on iPad os 17 beta. The full screen on external monitor still not working. Is it rd or os related? 

Copper Contributor

It's an RD issue, which you could see as good or bad. Jump Desktop on iOS has done full screen at external monitor resolution flawlessly for years. Microsoft RD is unfortunately the only app allowed by my IT group, which is probably a reason why most people with this issue haven't just switched.

Copper Contributor

Same here

Thanks to all you RD Client Gamma testers. Those of us who rely on iPadOS RD Client to earn a living really appreciate your bravery.

Hi @Devon9720 @Zhao_03 @maxspock @nathanbivey @e4ze23 and all those who have provided feedback for this feature, does the external monitor support in the client now support your needs? Or is there still functionality missing?
