ARC apps are currently confined to the primary display. This bug tracks server-side support for extended desktop mode in ARC. See also internal bug b/25953056 for client-side support.
Please provide an update to this as we are getting more users that will be using Chromebooks with the play store installed.... Most of which use dual monitors.
Multi-display support will land in a release based on Android N. The M implementation is usable but lacks certain features, e.g. maximizing and full screen. Development is on hiatus because N requires a major design change, and maintaining an incompatible implementation doesn't make sense as it will soon be obsolete.
The N implementation is blocked by the migration to HWC2. I'm currently tied up helping out with HWC2 porting, but will resume this work ASAP.
As mentioned in #15 "Multi-display support will land in a release based on Android N". I know it is a very long shot but do we have any ETA on when Android N will be landing Chrome OS?
Thanks

Multi-display support landed in M60. M62 will bring multi-display aware launching of ARC apps, as well as developer APIs, i.e. DisplayManager and ActivityOptions.setLaunchDisplayId backported from Android O.
