How do I work with multiple displays?

Remote displays are indicated with numbered rectangles on the AnyDesk toolbar. Clicking on each rectangle will switch the AnyDesk view to the respective monitor on the device you are connected to. 

Please see Session Settings for more information.

To show multiple monitors at the same time, simply establish multiple connections to the same device from different AnyDesk windows. You can then switch to a different view in different AnyDesk windows.

Why is there an orange question mark next to my cursor?

An orange question mark next to the cursor means that AnyDesk cannot retrieve or understand the mouse cursor icon from the remote device you are connecting to.

This can be due to multiple reasons such as:

1. The remote device has no mouse cursor

   - No connected mouse

   - Foreground application removed the mouse cursor (e.g. in video games)

2. The remote device is showing a special mouse cursor

   - Cursors that indicate specific actions (e.g. photo editing or 3D design software) 

   - Custom application-specific cursors (e.g. can be tied to 2a or in video games)

What are managed devices?

A device that can be accessed and controlled remotely with Unattended Access. Unattended means you do not need anybody on the remote end to allow control over the device. You can connect to a managed device with a password.
