# Virtual Outputs

Assign an input source to multiple output destinations with a single action using Virtual Outputs. You can group multiple outputs in a single virtual output.

In this section, you can create and manage your virtual outputs. You can press `Command-Shift-V` to go to the Virtual Outputs section when connected to a video router.
