Split Screen on MacOS Catalina

lisey

I think it would be really great to have support for full screen split screen on Mac Catalina; I have instances every single day that I would love to be able to use it.

    Split screen in Catalina (and earlier) does work, but Discord doesn’t really support it super well, and will refuse to split if your screen isn’t super huge. Try the following to get split screen working:

    1. Connect to a 24” or larger external display (or use a 24” or larger iMac) - this might work on a slightly smaller display, but it really does need a lot of room to work
    2. Make an app that supports split screen fullscreen, like Safari or something
    3. Activate Mission Control, then drag Discord up to the left or right of the fullscreen app at the top of the Mission Control view
    4. Discord will run in split screen, taking an overly large amount of screen real-estate

    What Discord really needs to do is show the split screen control on mouseover of the green button, and better support operating in more narrow views, potentially hiding the server and channel lists like the iOS app can.
