This Trick Allows You to Extend Your Display On any OS and Device!

[@theeFaris]

Deskscreen doesn't actually extends, it only duplicates ...

[@sholomperman9898]

I think that's y you need a HDMI dummy to duplicate a second screen

[@ad1340yt]

I thought extend said exist

[@thenatbeebrand]

after initially having a duplicate screen, click on windows key and 'P', then choose 'Extend'.. that should solve the issue

[@perobeats]

Yeah 😑

[@mattgrey3132]

Thank you for actually showing tha apps in action. This video came in clutch for me, and I think you covered the topic well. Make more!

[@auto117666]

I love when rabbit holes lead to gold. Great video, as always!

[@nathanielmoore87]

Spacedesk is another one. I've been using it on Windows for a few years. Never tried it on Linux, but I like to see all the options out there. Thanks for sharing!!

[@ImededdineAmara]

Spacedesk is Great but sadly there no port for it in linux , and didnt find other good alternative

[@Unizuka]

​@@ImededdineAmarawaylus is honestly better in my opinion ( on linux)

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

The approach you would use is to simply create a virtual display in X, that's worked for years and doesn't require anything special. That being said, this is likely more flexible.

[@SchoolforHackers]

Yeah, Remote Xwindows is/was a thing.

[@0klb0]

How do you do that?

[@delightfulsunny]

wow I am 2 years behind in finding out this... what in the world. thanks for the tip!

[@ccupp2]

Thank you for the insightful video. What would be the best (simplest, quickest) way to mirror and android phone's screen to an Amazon tablet. My scenario: I have a Pixel 6 phone and a 10" Fire Tablet. On longer trips I'd like to be able to mount the tablet on my dash and have the Pixel phones screen mirrored onto the tablet and be controllable via the tablet's touch interface. Running google maps on the 10" HD tablet would be so much better than on the phones smaller screen. Thanks in advance for any guidance....keep up the great videos. ☺

[@alanbraithwaite4724]

This is awesome! You always find the most interesting technology and share it. :D

[@michaelcooper5490]

Hey Don, Nice job again with the video. Did you have to use the hdmi dongle with the tablet and deskreen? Also second question "Did you install deskreen on both devices? Thank you for your time sir. Thank you for all your work.

[@NovaspiritTech]

only 1 hdmi dongled need for host computer, desk screen is only needed on host machine and you can use your brwoser on your second decive and point to host device to activate

[@mxshahan]

you connected second display and showing second display in tab. This is not really showing as second display. You didn't show your left side. You already connect one display on left and screensharing it on tab.

[@prozacgod]

Oh! If you tether your phone to your computer you can use that link to share the video over. I suspect it would be super fast.

[@sc0or]

)) This is not our way. You could purchase a monitor, an SBC, a VESA mount case, put a browser into an autoload mode, and add this smart monitor to your system. A reason? Well... No cables!

[@FarranLee]

I don't really understand why the dummy plug is required. Is there no way to make a virtual display device without it? Maybe you mentioned that and I just didn't understand something, but I did go down this rabbit hole a bit a few months ago too and I found the dummy plug thing to be the issue for me getting it going on Linux. Thank you for your video! :)

[@Cyba_IT]

I asked exactly the same question. 😁 You would think the program could use rdp or similar to create the other screen without the hdmi dongle.

[@lualgomo3920]

My PC has no video outputs nor thundebolt support. Could you please use a video with a way to do it in xorg and without the HDMI donlge?

[@uMalice]

Did you have any hiccups with this on Fedora 36? I'm thinking of following your lead and switching from Mint to Fedora. Nice Video!

[@NovaspiritTech]

so far fedora has been great, i have not ran into anything major

[@cbbcbb6803]

Can one screen be used for input and the other one display the output? So it acts sort of like a split screen setup?

[@kevinandange]

Hi, I have ununtu 20.04 and I'm wanting to cast wirelessly to my smart tv. What's the best way to do this

[@hugh_dancy]

thanks for teaching me this xoxo used ur amazon link to buy the dummy dongles. can i use this dummy dongle on any hdmi female plug ? my macbook has two mini displayports so i need to get an hdmi female adapter for them, but can i use an usb-a to hdmi female plug and still get the headless monitor to work ? (do i need to attach the dummy dongle to the mini displayport to get the headless monitor to work ?)

[@Zimbob2424]

Down the research rabbit whole ! love it. and completely understand. This would work good for a second screen for monitoring things like temps etc. that's always up on my second monitor now but I use it for other things so was thinking about setting up a third for all my sensors/monitors.

[@dayworkhard]

I tried all, deskscreen is responsive but the image quality is horrible. If you increase the image quality, latency becomes horrible

[@mahabooblinux]

you did a great job, thank you

[@DenC.personalPage]

im jumping to rabbit hole as well. i saw one guy talking about the dummy plug but half of the video was about his life story lmao. so now i'm here but still confused. i already bought my dummy plug but in order to use it do i plug it to a host or the display? and i need to setup a virtual monitor? i have a macstudio trying to recycle my old imac as a display

[@cattivello]

Hi. Fantastic. Great solution. I have a dummy HDMI and can extend. How do you extend to more than a device? You mentioned you have 2 dummy HDMI... Means you have 2 HDMI in your laptop?

[@SmartLearningAI]

Any idea why my external hdmi monitor stays dark on ubuntu? i tried a few things like re-installing ubuntu already. it is detected but display stays dark. the display is fine, works on windows. cable is fine

[@dragon3602010]

Does any data go thru their server? Or everything stay locally

[@NovaspiritTech]

Depends on the method but usually locally if you use weylus, desk screen, or vnc. But if you this method with TeamViewer or any connect then it would go through them

[@diejuse]

How is Ubuntu running on KUU Lebook Pro 12.6? Is there a problem? Does the tablet overheat a lot and the fan is annoying?

[@fernyfndzakadjkue9966]

Explaine on the second program how to install the devices also how does the software is intalled

[@naoremsana5664]

in my ubuntu both deskreen as well as weylus got black screen when i try to share the entire desktop but working fine sharing application window, how do I fix this. it's working perfectly fine on windows

[@thatowlfromhogwarts490]

Where is the Link to virtual screen for linux u mentioned in Desc ??? where iss itttt ??????? why u creators always say its in the desc and then provide 100 links to go through instead of that 1 !!!!

[@rask1978]

I have an issue with a black screen on Fedora 37 do you know any solutions ?

[@microlinux]

Excellent video Don

[@idcrafter-cgi]

on Kwin can you create a virtual screen with wayland but i don't know if it is because of the intelhd because i haven't got plasma 5.25 on my nvidia machine

[@NovaspiritTech]

acutally didn't know that for kwin i going to need to test this one out

[@idcrafter-cgi]

@@NovaspiritTech i saw that it exists in obs the flatpak version

[@kikskiks3639]

What if one screen is broken and you're trying to display what's on that screen

[@bbaker6212]

I found the Backintime app does not run using Wayland on Pop 22.04. And so how many other apps won't run with it?

[@hugh_dancy]

i tried to use weylus but i kept getting cursor out of bounds and couldnt take advantage of the graphic drawing tablet aspect of weylus

[@morelukeplayz6953]

Is there some way that you can extend from your pc to android tablet without a HDMI dummy plug?

[@cpace123]

spacedesk - multi monitor app is easy and works with tablets, android.

[@porcorosso4330]

I have been trying to find a way to cast my android tablet to my computer desktop... I guess I could just get a chomecast and a HDMI switch for my monitor... (+ audio switch for speaker) However, it would be nice if I don't have too...

[@AhmadAlnuaimi]

It keeps disconnecting after a few seconds. I tried mirroring my HP desktop to my iPhone 14 IOS 17.1.2

[@Unizuka]

Waylus i the only free option that worked for me, the setup wasn't hard but it wasn't hassle free. Two mini-cons: 1- i can't use it with my ipad 4, it has a great display and it is practically useless as a tablet. 2- the windows version is super watered down, it's not really worth downloading, not a problem for me personally but to those who only use windows, it is not great.

[@tpasi2020UG]

I saw a surface pro with Ubuntu. Can you do a tutorial on how to install linux (Ubuntu) on a surface pro 4 +. I have a pro4 and sometimes the kernel breaks and touch does not work. Do you have the same experiences?

[@NovaspiritTech]

ya i run in that problem but i have a video on resolve this kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5WckKqwerd5fdE this tutorial will create a new profile for your hwdb related to screen rotation and touch points

[@Dark-jn4hr]

Can I do it in offline I mean without network

[@YannMetalhead]

[@csandrade87]

Amazing Tool!

[@barrykirkby9626]

you can do it using No Machine....

Deskreen not working on my tablet S7. The site cant be reached.

[@prozacgod]

I've done this in the past using x11vnc + croping + xorg virtual display, extend the desktop to that virtual display, and then my android tablet would just log into the vnc and bobs your uncle.

[@thanhonguyen5268]

For Ubuntu OS, I believe only Gnome 42 support this

[@CopycatStudiosLA]

very techy!

[@JoseRamirez-oc3zv]

man I having so much issues wconnecting my tablet as a second screen< can somebody help me please, am using deskreen aswell, The only thing is that I have a Chromebook, and I do have linux install

[@JoseRamirez-oc3zv]

when I try to pair it it tells me that the web took to long to respond. and it does not connect

[@Cyba_IT]

Ok, I'm having a dumb dumb moment. Could somebody please explain why the dummy hdmi dongle is needed?

[@zoltangaal1842]

I tried to follow you, but even you don't know what you want to do. Sit down, take a deep breath, then decide on ONE THING that you want to share with the audience. Then, stick to the plan. I am not interested in how many possible options you've followed up. Just give ONE thing that worked for you. If you are ready, I'll come back and check on it.
