How can I control my laptop from my main PC for streaming?
Asked by

I'm trying to streamline my streaming setup since my main PC isn't powerful enough to handle it on its own. I usually stream to Discord and then use my laptop for the stream, but I don't have much space for it on my desk. I've set up a monitor above my other screens to see the laptop, but I lack a keyboard and mouse for it. Is there a way to control the laptop directly from my main PC as if it were just an extra monitor?

There's also software called Synergy that lets you share your mouse and keyboard between devices. If both your laptop and PC are Windows, you might consider QuickAssist, which is built into Windows. Just note that you’ll need the correct version of Windows on your laptop for that one to work!

TightVNC is another option you can try; it allows remote control access as well. It's pretty user-friendly and should help with your setup.

You can use remote desktop applications like TeamViewer or AnyDesk to control your laptop from your main PC easily. These programs let you access and manage your laptop as if you were using it directly.
