determining that at least a portion of the object is within a boundary of the first zone;

displaying the object on the second display device;

stopping displaying the object on the first display device;

creating a second zone on the first display device;

receiving second selection input selecting a second object being displayed on the first display device;

receiving second directional input to move the second object on the first display device;

determining that at least a portion of the second object is within the second zone; and

causing the second object to be displayed spanning both the first display device and the second display device without maximizing a size of the second object.

9. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the first display device and the second display device comprise internal display devices to an operating system of the computing device.

10. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein:

at least one of the object or the second object comprises digital rights management (DRM) protected content.

11. The computing device of claim 8 , the operations further comprising:

displaying a first portion of a third object within a third zone on the first display device;

displaying a second portion of the third object within a fourth zone on the second display device;

receiving third selection input selecting the second portion of the third object within the fourth zone on the second display device;

receiving third directional input to move the third object;

displaying the third object, outside the fourth zone, on the second display device; and

stopping displaying the third object on the first display device.

12. The computing device of claim 8 , the operations further comprising:

creating a fifth zone on the first display device;

receiving fourth selection input selecting a fourth object being displayed on the first display device;

receiving fourth directional input to move the fourth object on the first display device;

determining that at least a portion of the fourth object is within the fifth zone; and

displaying the fourth object maximized and spanning both the first display device and the second display device.

13. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the first display device is configured to receive output from either a displayport (DP) or an embedded displayport (eDP) of the computing device.

14. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that are executable by one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

determining that a computing device comprising a first display device and a second display device has an orientation in which the first display device and the second display device of the computing device are both viewable simultaneously;

defining a first zone on the first display device;

receiving selection input selecting an object being displayed on the first display device;

receiving directional input to move the object on the first display device;

determining that at least a portion of the object is within a boundary of the first zone;
