There was an error rendering this rich post.

TeamViewer Version 15.54.6

I see an option for adding virtual monitors, not sure it would help but it says you must connect using Easy Access. I don't see the option to add Easy Access in the TeamViewer client installed on my end.

The laptops Windows display settings max out at 1920x1080. Anyway to get a higher display resolution when starting TeamViewer?

So there is no way to connect to remote PC at a higher resolution than the remote PC has?

Hello @Tanquen,

First of all, please excuse the confusion with the note/warning sent before. Please ignore it.

Now let's go to your request:

We brought your case to our colleagues of the second level of assistance, and we were informed that the display resolution of the remote depend on the computer graphic card.

We regret we cannot give you the solution you expected but it does not depend on TeamViewer.

All the best,

Ok, seems really odd not to offer a way in software. **Third Party Product** can do different screen sizes. ???

If you google for this ↓ there is a software driver to fake displays in Windows and let you use different screen sizes in TeamViewer.

"amyuni usb mobile monitor Activating a Secondary Display on Windows 10 when no Monitor is Connected"

Also, not used it but some have used HDMI plugs that simulate displays with higher resolutions.
