Using multiple monitors

It would be really useful to our group to have the turn tracker and map on different monitors.  It would be even more helpful for the GM to have a third monitor to manage open NPCs.

You have a good suggestion here, a feature request for Pop Out Turn Tracker. +1 on that idea. I use 2-3 screens sometimes, many people here do. The setting called "Pop-Out Character Sheet" works to do that with sheets & handouts. Lesser known trick -- Double click the "Chat" Icon above the chat bar, you get a pop-out chat. Now you can use that right-column for Jukebox, OR you can hide that right chat bar and maximize map real estate on that screen. This trick is called Pop Out Chat.

Only problem with popout sheets is that they won't interact with tokens so you can't roll init from the sheet. easy work around is just to make an init macro and assign it to the token

The problem is the initiative tracker and token attributes dialog take up screen space which is troublesome on smaller screens, maybe if there were some way to make those appear as tabs on the right hand sidebar, that would be better.

Josh A. said: Only problem with popout sheets is that they won't interact with tokens so you can't roll init from the sheet. easy work around is just to make an init macro and assign it to the token I just tested this and initiative works with a popped out sheet, token selected - it places the character correctly in the tracker.

Roll20 works pretty well on multiple monitors. I tend to stretch my VTT window across two monitors so that the right side interface (chat/journal/settings/etc) is on my right monitor. This then gives me an entire monitor's worth of space for the map. I also use the popped out character sheets to move those to my right monitor as well. Other than making everything pop out-able, I'm not actually sure what else Roll20 needs to be multi-monitor compliant.

This is a bit of a necro, but the problem still exists with jumpgate, so I'm throwing in my vote. I think you really need true "multiple monitor" support for the VTT, that works with different elements on different size monitors but doesn't suffer from the limitations of popouts.  I know one DM who uses an iPad and a computer, for example.  And I use two different resolution monitors.  I can't simply stretch the tabletop across both without losing a corner of it or part of one monitor, but if I pop out a sheet  it doesn't work very well for many things, and I often need more space for sheets when I'm the DM. Another example would be putting the chat sidebar on a separate monitor, so it could be open but I could still use the full main monitor for the map.  I often run big maps, with a dispersed party, for tactical outdoor combat, with obstacles and evations for my players to exploit, for example. And I often want to see a wide area with more detail than I have room for. It would also be really cool if you could have different pages open on different monitors (last night my party was split between two maps for a bit, and toggling back and forth was a pain).
