In the following guide we will demonstrate how to run a number of videos from a single PC on multiple screens using the software Monitors Anywhere.

Start VLC Player (icon should appear on the desktop) then select Tools > Prefernces (or press Ctrl+P).
Go to:
Interface and set the following: Un-check the “Show system icon”
On the Video section check the Fullscreen box
On the Subtitles section un-check the first two boxes to disable the file name of the video to appear every time it loops.
To make sure the video loops, select the Tools menu > Preferences > Show Setting – All
Click on Playlist > check the Repeat All box
