Frequently asked questions
Everything people ask before setting up FlowDesk — setup, monitor count, security, and what happens when something glitches.
What exactly is FlowDesk?
FlowDesk turns your XR headset into an multi monitor setup. Tap a button and your computer gains a brand-new display that floats in the space around you — as many as you need, without buying a single physical monitor.
What do I need to get started?
An Android XR headset and a Mac or Windows PC on the same Wi-Fi network. That's it — no cables and no extra hardware.
Are these real monitors, or just a picture of one?
Real ones. Your computer treats each FlowDesk screen as a genuine display — it appears in your display settings, and you can drag any app onto it exactly like a monitor you plugged in.
How many screens can I have at once?
Up to eight. Fewer screens run at a higher frame rate; a full wall of eight still stays smooth. Every screen streams in full HD.
Up to 8 screens · Full HD · 60–90 fpsWill it look sharp and keep up with me?
Each screen streams at full HD and adjusts to your network on the fly, so text stays readable and motion stays smooth even if your Wi-Fi dips for a moment.
Does it work on both Mac and Windows?
Yes — FlowDesk runs on both Mac and Windows PCs. Your headset connects to whichever computer you're using.
Is it secure?
Yes. Everything between your headset and computer is encrypted, and no headset can connect until you approve it from your desk. Nothing streams before you say yes.
Encrypted · You approve every headsetWhat happens if one screen glitches?
Each screen is completely independent. If one hits a snag it recovers on its own, and the rest keep running without a blip. Close one and the others don't even notice.
Do I need to plug anything in?
No. FlowDesk streams over your local Wi-Fi, so your headset and computer only need to be on the same network.
