About Virtual Display Driver

Virtual Display Driver is an open source project hosted on GitHub that adds virtual monitors to Windows 10 and 11. Each virtual monitor functions in Windows like a physical display, even when no physical display is attached.

You can use the virtual displays with VR, OBS, Sunshine, and other desktop sharing software. It is intended for tasks such as streaming, virtual reality, screen recording, and running headless servers. The driver supports custom resolutions and refresh rates, and supports custom EDIDs to simulate existing hardware displays.

It suits Windows users who need an extra display for streaming workflows, remote desktop access, or systems without a monitor. As a code repository, it is accessible to users comfortable downloading and setting up software from GitHub.
