how to extend the window on Chromebook with dual monitors?

Question

I am trying to create a single chrome app to display(by using 3840x1080 resolution) on both monitors.

when I try to move a window, from one monitor to other, I am able to see only half of the window on one screen. Is there any settings to make it work like extended monitors

This was apparently a limitation of Chrome OS.

Keyword was: this bug is marked as Verified (fixed) in May. However, see this comment:

Please note that this feature was developed for specific enterprise use case, and will always be behind a flag. In other words, this will not be on by default for general use.

You can enable it using about:flags starting from M44 though.

So, to use this, you apparently need to set the "Enable unified desktop mode" flag in chrome://flags/. I can't confirm since I don't have a Chrome OS device to test.

I enabled the setting but it is still the same (OS Chrome version 45) – Amanda Nov 05 '15 at 01:18
You may want to try and leave a comment on that bug then. – Xan Nov 05 '15 at 06:09
To clarify, you need to do 2 things: 1. Set the flag (according to above) 2. Enable it in settings Maybe this is what confused @Amanda? – carl-johan.blomqvist Apr 09 '19 at 09:15
