I love this feature (I also have an ultrawide monitor). But after using almost all the other PowerToys feature, this is the FIRST time I've seen someone demonstrate how to actually use them. Thanks!

Thank you Andy! I’ve been arranging my windows into these types of layouts manually for far far too long. This is a huge time saver!

I'm trying this one from long time but don't know how to apply. You are the only one who explained this. Everyone straights into how to use but they forget how to apply first. Thank you, you made my life easier.

Installed Powertoys and had a few problems setting up the fancyzones feature. This video brought some clarity to that. Thanks!

FancyZones works so well with an ultrawide. The whole thing feels very polished. Love the ability to have a couple hotkeys to switch between workflows. A lot of people seem to love to complain about Microsoft when the newest Windows comes out. But I love Windows 11. I've had next to no problems and the UI is awesome. Nice looking native dark mode. Tabs in file explorer. I don't have to use a 3rd party command line tool because Terminal has gotten so much better over the years. Another neat feature I noticed recently is that it shows an icon for bluetooth devices in the bottom right to quickly mark if it's a controller, a speaker or headphones for example. There's so many nice little QoL features that Microsoft has added with 11 that it is finally feeling like a MacOS competitor form a design standpoint. I love just about everything about it and PowerToys boosts that even more.

THANK YOU!!!! you actually guide your viewers through soft, unlike so videos that rush the whole tNice tutorialng or talk too fast.

Awesome video. At seven minutes into the video you explain how to share a FancyZones zone/window in MS Teams. Many people like me did not know that was possible. Please create a video on your channel with that tiltle heading and you will help many other people. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for explaining this. I was having a tough time trying to figure out just how to do a split screen and every other channel did not specify that you needed to highlight and drag them together. Was driving me nuts! Thanks again my friend.

Andy: Further to our exchange(s) I have discovered the problem: a) The transparency was set invisibly high b) I believe closing The Editor needs to be stated, once the configuration selection has been made (in fact, adding a Cose button would help. An earlier iteration had 'Apply', which encouraged the same action. Thanks again for your help.

Game changer for me, working across different 8 data bases/programmes , and operating a very busy team chat.

Really crisp clear presentation, thank you. You got me interested in a new possibility.

Such detailed explanation. Thanks so much Andy!

Great coverage and informative. Appreciate your content.

Wow, great tutorial man, lots of details and effort you put into this! Really appreciate it!

This video is so helpful, and will help me save a lot of time. Thank you very much for making it!🙂👍

Could not find anybody covering how to get rid of the spacing between zones. Was driving me crazy. Thank you!

Your lesson helped a lot, after that i wrote my first lody. Thank you very much.

May God bless you. This is a big help to me today. - Random Accountant

I am so glad this program allows me to utilize the keyboard shortcut to move the windows across my screen and snap it in a specific region of the screen or I can tweak it to my liking. Awesome program! Thank you for the video.

Thanks for the video, this is exactly what I needed to setup my poker tables!

Thank you Andy for Sharing and showing.

This is the best free software Ive seen. Respect.

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANTLY DONE!!!!! Thank for such great content. “SUBSCRIBED”

Very well done, nice explanation and presentation layout! Congrats

Excellent tutorial, thanks man

you literally just handed me the answer to all my prayers!!!

Thanks bro that was really helpful

Very nicely done for me. Thank you.

Great video Andy, very helpful!

Very helpful video. Thanks. Perhaps it's been mentioned in previoius comments, but fiddling around while watching, I noticed that for a canvas layout, the cursor keys will move the entire canvas. Holding shift plus a cursor key will change the size by 10 pixels, and holding ctrl+shift plus a cursor key will change the size by 2 pixels.

Cool thx, will try it tonight at home.

OMG THANKS SO SO MUCH THIS HELPED!!!

Thank you for explanation =)

thank you from with all my heart I just needed it well🤝🤝🖤

Of the dozen or so videos on Fancy Zones I have seen, this was the most satisfying relative to what was presented. I understand there is additional functionality that binds a specific app to a specific zone. I wonder how Fancy Zones would behave if you have 2 or more virtual desktops that you covered in another video. .

Appreciate the video, Andy.

Thank you I didn't know you had to hold shift!

Amazing, Thank you!!!!!

Nice one brother 🥂

Great video!

Thank you very much

thx 4 the video.

THANK YOU!

Thanks a lot !

Worked, thx

Thank you!

Great video man!

Nice one

thank you so much....

Awesome program

thanks bro

good hack, good job man

this is perfect thanks, when you drag you window to top it gives you zone layout choice but i dont see customized zones on the choices is that possible ?

thank u

Thank you good to know; Have a question: does this work if you have two separate monitors with mouse flow?

Great videos and presentation style! Do you have a technique to only share a specific zone through Teams? I screenshare all day long and need to share multiple apps so I always use the Screen option. However, I recently upgraded to an ultrawide monitor and it seems as though there's no terribly elegant way to have a zone for all the apps I'm sharing and a non-shared zone for OneNote/Outlook on the same monitor.

Thank you for that, good video! I have a question. Is there a way to keep child windows, like when opening a mail in Outlook, in that same zone?

Can you so a video on hos tris works in virtuella desktops, and if you can have different layouts in the virtual desktops ?

Amazing 👌 🇪🇨

Does it also snap games that run in -window mode? Like split screen gaming while browsing.

Can you default apps to specific zones, on my previous computer I have a software I downloaded so it can be told "outlook to the left column" Chrome to the right column and other apps in the center column ( I use the 3 column default on a 43" monitor, just hoping that's doable but if not, at least turning off "hold shift key" allows me to throw the apps around to the correct location

Can i do 8 multiview in samsung odessy neo g9 with this fancyzones

Can this soft to rescale/resize window of application into bounds of segment?

Great video Andy, I'm using PowerToys as well, great tool but is it possible to open all the windows layout on Windows bootup?

Any recommendations how PPT in slideshow can be shared in zoom or webex using fancy zones, I am unable to figure that out yet as the moment i enter slide show while being within one fancy zone the whole 49 inch monitor gets shown.

When you share the web browser in Teams, you're selecting an app not a window. If you want to share something else like Excel, can to drop that in the same zone and will it be shared instead?

super! cheatwas easily installed

When I connected my laptop to a 34-inch ultrawide curved monitor with a resolution of 3440 x 1440p and a refresh rate of 180Hz as an extended monitor, everything appeared stretched and blurry with larger fonts. I aim to multitask efficiently without encountering stretching and blurriness, even when I resize windows for different applications. Can Fancy Zones address the stretched and blurry appearance on the extended 34-inch monitor? My laptop running Windows 11 doesn't display the 3440 x 1440 resolution. I'm seeking a solution to this blurriness issue and hope for your assistance. Many thanks.

Can you put a zone on top of another zone? Almost like Picture In Picture?

I need to restart my pc several times a day, and I obviously need windows to remember the size of my explorer and programs windows at restart. I threw in the toilet lot of precious time every time for decades due to this problem. Why when i close windows holding down shift makes the system remember the size of windows but on restart these sizes are not remembered anymore? What can I do to get out of this Windows nightmare?

Obrigado

Is there any point in using this with windows 11 since the resize feature is built into the window max/min button?

5:07 I wanted to know what the "Highlight distance" settings does.

Microsoft PowerToys? I have no idea what it is, but if Andy Park says I need it, I'm gonna go get it.

do you notice that fancy zone have one limitation , we can not set the resolution. I mean i have split the 4x4 then font are big like 720 on each area. every time i need to zoom out documents. its not easy

RetroSun thanks to other comnts i gotchu; click on gms when you’re in the channel rack to open up the gms nu and in the light blue

I just want everywindow to stay a smaller size its so complex uh hope this help

I have a LG C1 48, I can’t shrink the canvas to 1920x1080. Is there a toggle or something?

After all this hardwork...one reboot and its all gone....or it remembers each unique folder and where it should open when a folder icon is double clicked ?

Can I have a 3D render in a screen and a game in another screen at the same time while I'm watching KZfaq videos in another?

Never could get it to work. Norhing happens when I push left mouse button. Grid does not show up.

Please fix this.. I'm trying to shrink my browser window but it has a limit, if I shrink the layout to its maximum length the window browser doesn't follow that and cuts the browser.

Is there a way to let you have a fullscreen look for that specific zone?

RetroSun oh my god too let know when you figure it out

I have a doubt regarding this program. First, I need to explain the reasons for why I want to use it. I basically want to create a secondary monitor without having one. Why? Because I need a second screen on the same monitor to use Chromecast as a second screen and use it with a video projector for video mapping. If someone know how to use Chromcast has a secondary monitor pls tell me.

Is there a way in FancyZones to segment a certain zone so that when going full screen in the specific application (chrome in this case) it doesn't suddenly take over the entire monitor, but rather only expands to full size within the designated zone?

I worry about that too, I always having trouble finisNice tutorialng anytNice tutorialng I try and create, but I figure if I do a little more each day, it'll get there one

How to achieve such scenario? By clicking fullscreen button on YT video to stay within FancyZone boundries? Not at real fullscreen.

I would love to have this on my work computer, but noooo...The admins think it is not safe....Microsoft, make this thing portable, please! It would make my life so much easier!

It's not working for any program I care about. ie. Teamspeak and Discord. :(

How to make video full window in browser. not entire screen . I press KZfaq or Twitch by full screen , then the entire screen has video , so that there has dead zone. Can't muti task
