This doesn't work with multiple monitors

Is there was a way to get this to display on all monitors. Using Thunderbolt 4K External Monitors.

It should work with multiple monitors just fine (I use it on machines with 3 and 4 monitors myself).

Apple did break multiple monitor support for it at some point on macOS 13.3 (see https://github.com/monroewilliams/MatrixDownload/issues/11 ), and they fixed that issue with the release of macOS 13.5. If you're on a version between those two, you might try updating to 13.5 and see if the problem resolves.

Unfortunately, they also seem to have broken something in a different way on macOS 14 Sonoma (see the other currently open issues for details). I haven't had a chance to chase down the current issues with Sonoma yet.

Hello, yes I am on Sonoma 14.0. Thanks for your response. I'll keep an eye out to see if have a chance to track down the issue with Sonoma. Thank you again.

I'm running macOS Sonoma with two external monitor via a docking station. The screen saver only plays on my laptop's display and the external monitors stay blank during screensaver.
