Use kvm utility to start in full screen on two monitors

Hello,

I have read the following blog:

https://blogs.vmware.com/workstation/2014/03/whats-cool-vmware-kvm-utility.html

and I like this functionality very much. However, how to set up to start VM on 2 monitors?

I have host OS that uses 3 monitoris and when M starts I would like to start in full screen on monitors 1 and 2.

Is this possible?

When VM starts, I can choose multiple monitors from the toolbar, but would like to make a shortcut on the host desktop, so all can start preconfigured.

Thank you very much Carlton. I have already seen these resources.

Limitation part talks about cases if there are more than 2 monitors to be used in the VMWare player. My configuration is already satisfying all conditions.

I need only two monitors to be used and available in vmware player host system. The host OS is win 11 and guest is win 7, so all requirements are satisfied.

I used kvm option before to start vmware player virtual machine in full scren mode via shortcut on the host's desktop. I basically want to same, but this time to start vm with two monitors available for the guest and in the full screen.

So far I can set up this manually, just like described n the suggested resources.

So basically, what I need is already a topic for more than 10 years now.

I guess this feature is still not implemented in vmware
