Enabling displays from multiple client devices to interact with a virtual machine

One or more computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a computing system having a processor and memory, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• establishing a remote client session between a virtual machine and a primary client device that is coupled to a first display device, wherein the remote client session is associated with a first user account;
• determining that a secondary client device associated with the first user account is simultaneously connected to the virtual machine and is communicatively coupled to a second display device;
• receiving, from a remote client application on the secondary client device, information about the second display device including location information for the secondary client device;
• determining, at the virtual machine, that the secondary client device is within a threshold location of the primary client device using the location information;
• upon determining that the second display device is within the threshold location of the primary client device, providing, by the virtual machine through the first display device, a display selection interface that includes the second display device;
• receiving an indication that a user selection of the second display device occurred through the display selection interface;
• and
• providing graphics content from the remote client session to the secondary client device, wherein the graphics content is configured for display on the second display device.

A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a remote desktop application running on a secondary client device, an inquiry from a virtual machine regarding a second display device associated with the secondary client device, wherein the inquiry is received over a first connection, and wherein the virtual machine is in a remote user session with a primary client device;
• providing a response to the inquiry including location information for the second display device and characteristics of the second display device;
• receiving graphics content from the virtual machine;
• and
• providing the graphics content to the second display device.
