How to use FG with a TV for face-to-face gaming

[XoreX]

Hi all,

A quick question:
I have a gaming table with a 42inch TV for maps and all. I was wondering if it is possible to run FG on two screens?
One (my laptop) for GM info and GM maps, and 2 the TV for player maps and hand outs.

I can do it with other virtual gaming table apps.
please help me out

Thanks

Welcome to the FG forums.

Lots of people do this, including me.

You need to start another instance of FG on the same computer as the GM instance and "Join Game" with a server address of localhost Then drag the player instance to your second monitor (TV).

Some info on an extension that helps, and also lots of screenshots, in the thread here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?33834-Map-resize-to-TV-resolution-for-Face-To-Face-games
