It can only show the resolution of what your display is showing you at home.
Thanks, that worked. guess it adjust the resolution for speed or something, i changed the resolution on the remote pc and shows much better. Not sure why I didn't think of that earlier. I'm just kinda used to TV.

Interesting - is there no monitor attached to the device you are remoting into? If there is, and you've now pushed the signal outsize the displayable ability of that monitor, at least - you won't be able to use it when you get back to that machine (until you remote into it and change it back) at worst - you're damaging the monitor - I've heard of incorrect sync doing that - though I've never seen it first hand.

Its actually the same make and model I am using at work, ViewSonic VX2757-MHD. I'll play with it more.. Just may I screwed something up. My monitor at home is off .

Not yet, but expect to start soon as we start using it more.

I currently setup 2FA. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! I like the extra security.
-
@pmoncho Great to see it's working well, defiantly worth the added security.

What 2FA system do you use with it?
-
@scottalanmiller I believe it's the Google Authenticator.
-
For 2FA, I use Authy.
Agree w @pmoncho easy, peazy setup! -

Yep, Google Authenticator. I think it actually took about 90 seconds to setup. I did it on a test account first to make sure it would work.

Nice. I've been using Authy for that. (Made by Twilio). I don't have mine available outside my house yet. Will set up 2FA when I do.

FYI. On latest version of MeshCentral, if you enable 2 factor authentication you also get the option to generate and use one-time tokens now. Good backup in case you drop your phone.

@Ylian that's good, very useful.
