So you want Valorant on your second monitor, huh? Tired of explaining to Netflix that you're not actually watching "Emily in Paris" for the plot (it's the tactical espionage, duh)? Fear not, fellow warrior, for I, your friendly neighborhood gamer guru, am here to bestow upon you the knowledge of moving Valorant to your second monitor.
But first, a word from our sponsor... (it's me, I'm sponsoring your success)
Before we dive in, let's acknowledge the elephant in the room (or maybe it's just your overenthusiastic teammate with a Jett fetish). Having a second monitor is pretty darn epic. It's like having a superpower that lets you browse cat videos while simultaneously eliminating digital foes. But with great monitor power comes great responsibility. Don't worry, though, this guide is like training wheels for your multi-monitor mastery.
Alright, alright, enough chit-chat, how do I Valorant-ify my second monitor?
There are two main ways to achieve this glorious feat, both so simple you'll wonder why you ever wasted precious milliseconds on the wrong screen.
Method 1: The In-Game Maestro
- Boot up Valorant. (This might seem obvious, but hey, everyone forgets sometimes. Except for Killjoy, that little turret never forgets.)
- Channel your inner sage and heal your settings menu woes. Click on the gear icon (because who needs violence when you have customization?).
- Behold! The land of options! Navigate to the sacred halls of "Video" settings.
- Here lies the key to your second-monitor nirvana. Look for the "Monitor" setting (it usually has a picture of a monitor, just in case you were worried you might accidentally adjust your toaster settings).
- A glorious list of displays shall appear! Choose your desired second monitor from this digital buffet.
- Don't forget the sides! You might also need to adjust your resolution and display mode to match your second monitor's fancy.
- Hit that glorious "Apply" button. Bask in the warm glow of your monitor setup radiating pure tactical dominance.
Method 2: The Keyboard Shortcut Sorcerer
- Launch Valorant with the confidence of a Phoenix ult. (Just try not to be as flashy, we don't all have Raze's grenade budget.)
- Embrace the power of keyboard combinations! Press the magic key sequence of Alt + Enter. This hotkey is basically your monitor-moving genie in a bottle.
- Behold! The windowed wonder! Valorant should now be gracing your screen in beautiful windowed glory.
- Unleash your inner decorator! Drag the Valorant window to your second monitor like a pro gamer wielding a virtual mouse.
- Another tap of Alt + Enter (because genies like things done in threes) and Valorant should be fullscreen and ready to rock on your second monitor.
There you have it, folks! With these simple steps, you'll be two-monitor Valorant-ing like a champ in no time. Now go forth, conquer your enemies, and maybe finally learn what's actually going on in "Emily in Paris" while you're at it. Just don't tell your teammates.
