What Happens When You Unplug a Monitor

When a display configuration change is detected during an active capture session:

If the monitor you selected for capture is unplugged:

  • Shotomatic automatically pauses the capture session
  • A notification appears explaining the display configuration changed
  • You can choose to either terminate the session or select a new monitor from available options

If the monitor you selected is still connected:

  • No interruption occurs
  • Your capture session continues without any user intervention

Perfect For

  • Laptop Users – Dock and undock without losing your capture session
  • Multi-Monitor Setups – Rearrange displays mid-session with confidence

Upgrade to version 1.4.5 to experience intelligent display management during your capture sessions.
