Multi-monitor behavior on macOS

Hello. I’m using Infuse on macOS. I have a three-monitors setup.

I’m keeping Infuse playing on one monitor, meanwhile I’m doing other things on the other two monitors.

So everything works well, but I must keep Infuse in non-full-screen mode, because if I set Infuse full screen (on monitor 1), the other two monitors become black and I can’t use them.

Is there any way to avoid this behavior?

Thanks for your time.

System Settings > Mission Control (in Desktop and Dock) and ensure the “Displays have separate Spaces” option is checked should get you what you want.

Hi. Checked out the option you suggest (it was already checked) and checked again. Situation does not chance. macOS is updated to the latest version on a MacBook Pro M2 Max.

I also noticed that, when Infuse is full screen in monitor 1 (external, full-hd) the main monitor of MacBook gets black only on the desktop, but allow me to browse apps which were previously set in fullscreen mode. So I can’t see the desktop (icons and background) as well as any app with is set in window mode, but I can see apps set in full screen mode by sliding left or right on the trackpad.

It’s not a big issue for me. But if you are interested to dig forward and solve, I would be grateful. In case you need any log from Infuse, let me know what and how, and I will send you.

There is a setting in Infuse for macOS that does exactly that. Be sure to uncheck it!

Thanks for that! I knew I had seen a reference to blacking out other screens but was thinking it was an OS setting. I only use the mac monitor so I never had a reason to play with the setting.
