Observing a Single Computer

When you observe a single computer, the observed screen appears in a window on your administrator computer. If a screen saver is active when you observe the screen, the screen saver remains in effect. The observe window contains a "Share mouse control" button to switch to controlling the screen.

  1. Select a computer list in the Remote Desktop window.
  2. Select a computer in the Remote Desktop window.
  3. Choose Interact > Observe.

    If the observed computer's screen is larger than the observe window, the screen will scroll as the pointer approaches the edge of the window.

  4. To customize the single-client observe window and session, see Control Window Options. The observe window's options are the same as those of the control window.
