Here are some new features and products that were introduced the week of August 20, 2018 in the 3.2.6.0 release.
Most of these features require updating to the latest 3.2.6.0 Splashtop apps and streamers. The updated Splashtop apps and streamers will roll out via auto update, check for updates, or update notifications over the coming weeks. You can also get them at https://www.splashtop.com/downloads.
Please note that features vary by product. In many cases you can upgrade to the latest versions, higher editions, or purchase additional subscriptions via an upgrade button or Subscriptions page of your my.splashtop.com console. Contact Sales at sales@splashtop.com or our Sales - +1.408.886.7177 (7:30am-5pm PT, Mon-Fri) if you need assistance.
Multi-to-Multi Monitor
One of the most exciting new capabilities (available in certain products/editions*) is the ability to remotely view and control computers with multiple monitors by having the content of the remote monitors appear on multiple local monitors. This enables a user to remotely work with a multi-monitor system as if they were sitting in front of it.
Splashtop's Mac multi-to-multi monitor advantage: Other remote access solutions either don’t support this type of functionality between Macs or require opening a separate remote access session for each monitor. Splashtop provides a superior solution that delivers high performance remote access from Mac to Mac, Windows to Windows, and between Macs and Windows.
