Screen grab at higher remote resolution
When the remote side has a higher resolution, the screen contents can be too small to read.
One fix would be a mode where the local window moves over an expanded natural-resolution remote desktop larger than the local screen area.
Another workaround is to capture the screen to examine later, allowing best use of the remote side's larger screen area. The trouble is, when I use Screen capture, Save, the result is the same fuzzy low-res screen shot I see locally, and not the higher-resolution screen shot I'd hoped to pick up from the remote side.
There was a recent Survey on the topic of multiple monitors and different resolutions, and I'd love to add these ideas to a thread linked to that?

This is a good idea. Copying the local screen causes a loss of information when the local resolution is lower than the remote resolution.

At version 15.61.4, grabbing the remote screen seems hit-and-miss, when done via the same UI. Sometimes I get the higher resolution of the remote screen as desired, but other times I get the same grainy lo-res version I see on my lower-res screen. In both cases, TV's scaling is To Fit rather than Original, but changing between these two options doesn't seem to correlate to whether I get a lo-res (local) screen grab, or a hi-res (remote) screen grab. Dunno if this is a known bug?
