To detect multiple screens in Windows Chrome browser, you can use the screen object in JavaScript. The screen object provides information about the user's screen, including its width and height.

Here's an example code snippet that detects the number of screens the user has:

javascript
var screenCount = window.screen.availWidth / window.innerWidth;

console.log('Screen count:', screenCount);

In this example, we're using the screen.availWidth property to get the total width of all screens, and the window.innerWidth property to get the width of the browser window. We then divide the total width by the browser window width to get the number of screens.

You can also use the screen.availHeight property to get the total height of all screens if you need that information.

Note that this method assumes that all screens have the same resolution and that they are arranged side by side. If the screens have different resolutions or are arranged in a different configuration, this method may not accurately detect the number of screens.

Another method is to use the window.matchMedia() method to detect multiple screens. Here's an example code snippet:

javascript
var mq = window.matchMedia('(min-width: 1920px)');

if (mq.matches) {
console.log('Multiple screens detected');
} else {
console.log('Single screen detected');
}

In this example, we're using a media query to detect if the screen has a minimum width of 1920 pixels. If the media query matches, we assume that the user has multiple screens. You can adjust the media query to fit your specific use case.

Overall, there are several ways to detect multiple screens in Windows Chrome browser using JavaScript, depending on your specific use case.
