Screenshots on multiple monitor setups

Multi-Monitor Support

Hubstaff will capture all active monitors connected to a computer when the user is tracking time. To view all the screenshots, simply hover over a screenshot and click on View Screens. Additionally, you will see the total number of screenshots captured during the time interval.

Note: You may notice repeated screenshots based on the number of monitors or displays in use. Furthermore, the screenshot frequency plays a significant role in this. For example, with a dual monitor setup and a screenshot frequency of 1x, Hubstaff will capture 2 screenshots — one from each monitor every 10 minutes.

ViewScreens-MultipleMonitor

The total number of screenshots varies based on the configuration for screenshots per 10-minute block, set by the organization or individual. For example, if a user is configured to take 3 screenshots per 10-minute block and uses 2 monitors, Hubstaff will capture 6 screenshots—3 from each monitor—under each thumbnail for every 10-minute block worked on the same project. However, this number may vary if the user switches projects or doesn’t work for the full 10-minute block.

Hubstaff Thumbnail Image

For users with two or more monitors, the system displays the thumbnail from the second monitor by default, as this is typically where active work occurs.
