Double Your View: Chrome’s New Split View Feature

Thank you Mark E. for suggesting this tip!

Chrome now allows you to view two tabs side-by-side within a single window, eliminating the need to resize separate windows or toggle back and forth between sites.

How to Get Started

  • Open the two tabs you want to view simultaneously.
  • Right-click on the tab you want to move to the side.
  • Select Split View from the dropdown menu.
  • Choose the second tab from the list of open pages to fill the other half of your screen.
  • Click and drag the central divider to adjust the width of each pane.

OR

  • Click and hold the tab you want to move.
  • Drag the tab down toward the center of the browser window.
  • Look for the transparent gray overlay that appears on either the left or right side of the screen.
  • Release the tab once it is inside the gray zone to lock it into split view.

When you are done with the side-by-side view, simply click the X on the divider or drag one tab out of the window to return to a full-screen view.

Tip: You can quickly swap the positions of your two screens by clicking and dragging the top header of either split tab to the opposite side.

Question: Can you use split screen when presenting a Google Slideshow? Yes! This short video explains how.
