How to Fix AnyDesk Screen Resolution Issues on macOS: Tips for MacBook Pro Users

If you’re an AnyDesk user on macOS who has upgraded to a MacBook Pro and are facing difficulties adjusting your screen resolution when connecting with clients, this article is tailored for you. Many users have discovered that the AnyDesk version on macOS does not allow the selection between multiple screens. The software automatically shares the display set as the “Main Screen,” which can be a hassle if you’re working with high-resolution monitors, such as a 49“ Samsung with a resolution of 5120 × 1440.

A recommended solution is to use BetterDisplay, a tool that allows you to create virtual displays and better manage resolutions. By configuring BetterDisplay to force the virtual output to 1920 × 1080, you can enhance the connection quality for your clients, especially if they are using devices with standard screens or even mobile devices.

However, some users have reported that despite creating the virtual display, they still face issues with not being able to choose which screen to share through AnyDesk. While it is suggested to set the virtual screen as the “Main Screen,” this can lead to conflicts with other applications, such as Revit Architecture in Parallels, which you might need for your work sessions.

If this setup feels overly complicated or problematic, consider installing AnyDesk in a Windows environment through Parallels, although many prefer the native experience on macOS. The M5 Max delivers exceptional performance that would be lost in a virtualized environment.

For those looking for a simpler way to manage screen resolutions in AnyDesk, be sure to check the settings configuration and explore each available option.

We hope these tips will help enhance your experience using AnyDesk on macOS and provide you with better solutions for your presentations and client work.
