Virtual display
Create one or more extra screens when you need them.
Windows utility
An extra screen, without another monitor.
Create a virtual display for a browser, stream, or separate session. Keep it out of the way while you keep using your computer.
Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit
Winter
What it does
A focused tool for a spare screen that only exists when you need it.
Winter is built for people who want a clean way to move private browser content, screen sharing, streams, or a separate session onto an extra display without plugging in another monitor.
Live preview
Check the virtual screen from your real monitor. Optional preview controls let you interact with it.
Your browser, your choice
Select an installed browser and profile, then open it on the virtual display.
Simple workflow
Three steps, then get on with it.
1
Turn on Winter Display
Start the virtual display when you need it, with settings that fit your PC.
2
Open your browser or app on it
Place the browser, stream, or separate session on the virtual screen and keep it out of the way.
3
Share that display or window
Use the app you already prefer for screen sharing, streaming, or calls.
Control and performance
Settings that stay practical.
Winter recommends sensible settings based on the computer, with 720p and 1080p options, 30 or 60 Hz limits, and an adjustable preview frame rate.
- Choose a virtual display size that fits the job.
- Use lower preview frame rates when you only need visibility, not constant interaction.
- Pick 30 or 60 Hz based on how smooth you want the display to feel.
Included
What comes with Winter.
- The Winter app for Windows.
- The display component used to create the virtual screen.
- Optional VB-CABLE support for audio routing, using the original third-party installer.
Winter is not a cloud service, and it does not need another physical monitor to create the extra screen.
Local-first privacy
Built to stay on your PC.
Winter does not upload your screen, browser activity, accounts, or personal files. It asks before making system changes, and you can revoke optional permissions or remove everything later.
Local by design
Your setup stays on the computer you installed it on.
Clear prompts
When Windows needs confirmation for a system change, Winter should explain why first.
Easy to undo
Winter and its related components can be removed later if you do not want them anymore.
Optional audio routing
Audio support is available, but it is optional.
Optional VB-CABLE support can route a selected browser’s sound away from your speakers. It is optional, requires confirmation, and uses the original third-party installer.
FAQ
Questions people usually ask first.
Does Winter need administrator permission?
Only when Windows requires it to add, repair, or remove the display component. Winter should clearly explain why before asking.
Does it work with Discord?
Winter can be used alongside Discord, browsers, and other apps, but it is not affiliated with Discord or any service.
Does Winter upload my data?
No. Winter is designed to work locally.
Can I remove it completely?
Yes. The uninstaller can remove Winter, its display component, shortcuts, and local settings.
