Using MediaMate with Extended Displays

Enhance your multimedia experience across multiple screens with MediaMate's extended display support. Whether you're a professional requiring additional screen real estate for your workflows or a user looking to enjoy media content on a larger display, MediaMate seamlessly integrates with extended displays, ensuring your volume and brightness controls are as intuitive and accessible as they are on your primary device. This guide will walk you through the steps to set up and use MediaMate with your extended displays.

Getting Started

Before diving into the setup process, ensure that your external display is correctly connected to your Mac and recognized by the macOS system. MediaMate's extended display support works in tandem with applications like Lunar or BetterDisplay for enhanced control over external monitor settings.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Verify Display Connection

- Ensure your external display is connected and recognized by your Mac. You can check this by going to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Displays.

2. Install MediaMate (if not already installed)

- If you haven't already, install MediaMate on your Mac following the instructions provided in the "How to Install MediaMate on Your Mac" article.

3. Configure MediaMate for Extended Displays

- Open MediaMate settings from the menu bar icon. - Navigate to the "Extended Displays" section. (Note: This section might be named differently based on the actual application settings.) - Enable the option to control volume and brightness for extended displays. This might require granting additional permissions or installing helper tools like Lunar or BetterDisplay, depending on your setup.

4. Adjusting Volume and Brightness on Extended Displays

- With MediaMate running, use your keyboard controls or the MediaMate interface to adjust volume and brightness. - MediaMate should automatically detect your extended display and apply the changes accordingly.

5. Customizing Extended Display Controls (Optional)

- For further customization, explore the settings related to extended displays within MediaMate. This may include adjusting the HUD appearance on extended displays, setting different profiles for different displays, or configuring specific shortcuts for external monitor controls.

Tips for a Smooth Experience

  • Compatibility Check: Ensure your external display is supported by the additional tools (Lunar, BetterDisplay) for seamless integration with MediaMate.
  • Shortcut Utilization: Learn and customize shortcuts within MediaMate for quick adjustments across your displays without needing to switch your focus from one screen to another.
