Hello Alexander,

Thank you for your message.

We definitely will add multi monitor support in subsequent updates of Viewer for Mac/Linux. Unfortunately, for now we can’t provide a specific ETA on this feature.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

[Resolved] Suddenly unable to run Viewer

Hello Pete,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please try fully uninstalling Viewer following this guide and then re-installing it from scratch? Full uninstallation cleans up all remaining traces of the software, so if there's a damaged/corrupted file that might be causing the issue, this should help to fix it.
In addition, please also make to add Viewer installation folder to the exclusion list of any antivirus software you might have as described here since the issue might be caused by a/v software mistakenly blocking/removing Remote Utilities from your computer.

Let us know if this helps or if the issue persists.

Hello Julia,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please let us know if the cursor has the black box around it at all times or only for certain types of cursor (for example, the input cursor when typing text)?

Looking forward to your reply.

[Resolved] Full screen on Linux viewer

Hello Richard,

Thank you for your message.

The black bars on the side of the screen are caused by the screen resolution difference between your Host and Viewer. Unfortunately, Remote Utilities has no control over the screen resolution of the remote Host, so there's currently no way to get rid of the black bars. The only solution we could suggest is using the "Fullscreen Stretch" view mode. However, we plan to implement a feature that would allow adjusting remote screen resolution within your Viewer, so that it's possible to match up remote screen with a local one. Hopefully it will be available in one of our future updates, but there's no specific ETA on it yet.

Let us know if you have other questions.

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please try enabling the Use legacy capture mode feature in the Host Settings -> Other tab and see if this helps to resolve the issue? Please make sure to restart Host after enabling the feature in order for the changes to be applied.

Hope that helps.

[Resolved] Host shows online but goes offline when clicked

Hello Jason,

Yes, having your Viewer registered with a commercial license will make it capable of connecting to older versions of Hosts. Alternatively, it's always an option to update the Host manually - even if someone else has access to the remote machine, you can send them a custom One-Click installer or even the vanilla installer, both will do the job.

Let us know if you have more questions.
