Memoir can span a single image seamlessly across all your monitors simultaneously, creating an immersive multi-screen experience.
The Span Monitors button only appears in Chrome and Edge when multiple displays are detected.
Memoir calculates the combined virtual canvas of all your monitors and renders the correct slice of each image on each screen. The result is a single panoramic image spanning all displays, with perfectly synchronized motion and cross-dissolve transitions.
Multi-monitor support can potentially work on any browser and OS, but it requires knowledge of the resolution of each monitor, and their relative positions to each other. Chrome/Edge provide this information automatically. Future extensions might allow for a custom monitor definition file that will enable support everywhere.
