Now, one party can control the screen while the other can just see. Others can now choose ‘Take Full Control’ (this will allow him to control your keyboard and mouse as well) or ‘View Screen’ (which only allows you to see the screen with no controls). The mouse pointer may need to pass hidden parts of your desktop in case the computer 'believes' the shared monitor is connected and active while it is actually showing the other computer. Enter the code into ‘code from the assistant’ and click ‘share screen’. Keep in mind, that the monitor letter is hidden for the computer currently not shown on the shared monitor. Workaround: Use the Quickjump hotkey to switch between computers. Example: If you have a laptop used at home (with a Mac on the right and another Windows PC on the left) and at work (with three Windows PCs on the right), ShareMouse automatically switches configuration correspondingly. Therefore, applications running on the operating system, such as ShareMouse, cannot be made aware of which computer the monitor is currently displaying. Sharemouse automatically creates separate display layout profiles if a computer is used in different work places. In order to change the mouse pointer between the computers, the pointer must first pass the invisible part of the desktop to appear on the neighbouring computer.īackground: The display input channel selector monitor is a display setting, not a setting of the operating system and the monitor does not communicate such setting to ShareMouse. Most multi-input displays pretend that each of the connected computers is activated, even if only one of the computers is actually displayed. Please test the free demo version first to check if ShareMouse works for you with such special configuration. ShareMouse only works to a limited extent with screens shared with multiple computers. If displays are positioned in the Display Manager with an offset or if one display has a smaller screen resolution than the neighboring display, the mouse.
