Dual screen on VirtualBox


  1. Power off your virtual machine if it's on.
  2. From the main VirtualBox window, select your VM and choose “Settings”.
  3. Choose “Display”.
  4. Below “Video Memory” is “Monitor Count”. Slide it to 2, and adjust your video memory if VirtualBox complains.
  5. Start your guest and perform the standard "Extend the desktop onto this display". This will be different per guest OS. (Guest Additions need to be installed.)
  6. A second "Oracle VM VirtualBox" window will appear with the second display. You can resize it however you want.

You may need to enable the second monitor by going to [view] -> [monitor 2] -> [enable].
