I have two real time streaming cameras that need to be presented on two different monitors attached to the same system. Ideally I'd like to use MS's Kiosk mode (Assigned access) to do this simply to prevent unauthorized access. Since Assigned Access required MS Edge an HTML file directing the two streams to the different monitors is needed. As best as I can tell MS Edge does not offer the flags to designate which monitor gets what content. If I can't figure out how to do this using Edge then using Assigned Access is not feasible.

A mature browser, I'm finding it difficult to believe there is no way to accomplish this (Firefox and chrome can do this, but Assigned Access won't use those browsers).

How can an HTML file be used to open two instances of MS Edge, each to a different monitor?

    Hi AllanJAshinoff-5533,

    This is not natively achievable through Edge. It can be achieved through an experimental API called PresentationAPI. If you Google this, you will find much information. Unfortunately, I can’t link you to non-Microsoft pages on this forum.
