A method for configuring multiple displays connected to a common computing system is disclosed. In one embodiment, a computing system detects multiple displays connected thereto. The computing system causes at least one of the displays to emit a lighting pattern. This lighting pattern may include, for example, sequentially displaying a selected background color and/or pattern on each of the displays. The computing system detects the lighting pattern using one or more cameras connected to the computing system, such as cameras incorporated into the displays. Using the detected lighting pattern, the computing system infers a physical arrangement of the displays. In certain embodiments, the computing system uses artificial intelligence to infer the physical arrangement. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed herein.
