Look for a remote access software which is possible to connect even when the monitor of the host mac

My setup is as follows:

Computer 1 and Computer 2 are connecting to only 1 monitor through a HDMI Bi-Direction Switch. Just by pressing button on HDMI Bi-Direction Switch, I can switch between Computer 1 and Computer 2

I have Computer 3, which wants to remote access to Computer 1.

I want to use Computer 2, and let other (Computer 3) to access Computer 1 at the same time. But I can not because

When both Computer 1 and Computer 2 is turned on, but Computer 2 is using monitor.

Then Computer 3 can not access Computer 1 anymore (in fact, Computer 3 can access, but can not control anything of Computer 1). If I switch monitor to use Computer 1, then Computer 3 can access Computer 1 as normal.

I have tried several software such as TeamViewer, *bleep*, but none of them worked.

Can you suggest any software or any other method that works?

Thanks very much.

Hello @MursalAhmed88,

Welcome to the TeamViewer Community! 😀🎉

👉 TeamViewer software doesn't create a virtualization of the device, it only reproduces the mouse, keyboard and screen.

Therefore, based on the explanation you provided, when you are displaying the image of computer 2, there is nothing for computer 1 to use to reproduce an image, so when you try to connect using computer 3 it doesn't display graphics.

We cannot guarantee you a solution because this is not consider an issue with TeamViewer itself.

💡 However, based on my personal experience, I can advise you AT YOUR OWN RISK to do some research in HDMI Ghost Plug or/and a HDMI Adapter that supports extended monitors.

Maybe, if you find a way to have computer 1 generating a screen (like if it had a second monitor), it may allow the remote connection from computer 3 using TeamViewer.

I hope this information can help you figuring out a solution 🍀

I would also appreciate if you could return to us with updates ( especially if you find a solution ). I am sure other users could benefit from your reply.

Have a good one 🙋‍♀️

Best,

Carol
