Respondus LockDown Browser is intentionally designed not to support multiple monitors. It disables secondary displays to prevent cheating by restricting access to other resources. However, you can still use it on your larger monitor by making sure it's set as your primary display.

Instructors now have the option to record only a student's screen during an online assessment, no webcam is required. This is especially useful for in-classroom exams where the instructor wants to observe how a student answers questions. For example, an instructor might like to see how a student uses Excel to analyze a problem, or how a short essay was developed by the student.
