Multi-Monitor Support
If a user has dual monitors or extended displays, will Hubstaff capture screenshots of all the screens? Or only the active ones?
Hubstaff will capture all active displays connected to a computer when the user is tracking time. You can see all the screenshots by hovering over the screenshot and clicking on the View screens button. You will also see the total number of screenshots captured during the interval.
NOTE: You may see repeated screenshots based on the number of monitors/displays the user has. Also, the screenshot frequency will have an effect on this. For example; a screenshot frequency of 1x with a dual monitor setup will produce 2 screenshots. Hubstaff will capture an image from each monitor 1 time every 10 minutes.
The total amount of screenshots will vary depending on how many screenshots the organization (or individual) is configured to take per 10-minute block of time. Example, if you have a user set to have 3 screenshots taken per ten-minute block of time and they are using 2 monitors, the number should be “six screens” under each thumbnail for every 10-minute block of time they work on the same project (the number can vary if they change projects or don’t work for the full 10-minute block of time).
When you start Hubstaff without the external display connected and then connect it, this could result in only one display being captured. In these cases, you’ll need to restart the Hubstaff application.
The Chrome Hubstaff app does not support multi-monitor setups due to ChromeOS limitations.
The OSX app supports capturing iPad displays in Sidecar.
