The default primary Monitor is always indexed 0. Secondary Monitors range from 1 to 7. Ensure an external monitor is connected before Activating it.
using UnityEngine;
public class Example : MonoBehaviour { void Start() { // Check the number of monitors connected. if (Display.displays.Length > 1) { // Activate the display 1 (second monitor connected to the system). Display.displays[1].Activate(); } } }
width | Desired Width of the Window (for Windows only. On Linux and Mac uses Screen Width). |
height | Desired Height of the Window (for Windows only. On Linux and Mac uses Screen Height). |
