Step 4: At this point, simply connect your Android device to your PC and the Android Control Screen will popup allowing you to control your device via your computer. While this solution will work for some, it is best suited to those who love coding and who have already installed USB debugging on your phone. The problem could be because your local computer has a scaled display setting. Usually, laptops have a standard set of 150% scaling. If you change your scaling to 100% and reboot your computer, the remote source should fill your screen if both local and remote have the same screen resolution. There comes a time in nearly every computer user’s life when they need a file from their PCand the PC isn’t nearby. Fortunately, there’s an easy way to remotely access your PC directly from your phone or tablet, making getting that missing file a piece of cake.

How to switch monitors and view multiple monitorsWindows and Mac

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.
