Keep in mind that the feature only works for cloud-connected devices. Find out more here.

Enhanced Multi-Monitor Support

This feature allows you to view multiple monitors on remote devices within RealVNC Viewer and toggle between them or bring them all into view. Even better, the Multi-Window Mode allows you to show monitors in individual windows. More details can be found here.

File Manager - a Remastered File Transfer Experience

Our File Transfer experience has been completely reworked, allowing you a much clearer view of the files on your devices. You can now add, remove, and rename files and folders on remote devices, too. More File Transfer details can be found here.

Launch Connections from the Portal

This new feature expands the Portal’s functionality beyond the place where you manage your Team and subscription. A Connect button next to each device in your list allows you to launch a connection directly from the Portal, opening RealVNC Viewer.   

More on how to launch connections from the Portal, here.

Audit - Track Key Activity Across Your RealVNC Team

Last but not least, our new Audit feature allows you to track your team and session activity. You’ll find a real-time log of the most improtant account activity in there. This includes session start and end times, devices connected to, as well as which user made that connection.  

Furthermore, this data can easily be exported as a .csv file. You can also use API Access for an API connection to this data.
