How to switch monitors and view multiple monitors

Screens 4 2 2 – Access Your Computer Remotely Access
In the example below, the first two menu items let you select Monitor 1 or Monitor 2 from the remote system to view on your screen.

The third menu item lets you view all monitors from the remote computer on one local screen. This is also known as multi-to-one.
The final option lets you view each remote monitor in a separate window on your local computer and you can arrange those windows on multiple local monitors. This is also known as multi-to-multi.
iPhone and iPad

On an iPhone (below), you have the options to view one screen at a time or both remote screens at the same time on your phone screen.
