Anydesk Virtual Monitor



A great new enhancement added to Monitors AnyWhere Digital Signage System and now it can work on a Virtual Machine infrastructure. No longer it’s required to install a standalone physical machine to control your digital signage displays. In this new approach, the zero clients will connect to the virtual machine over the existing LAN and everything will be controlled by the Monitors AnyWhere application. On Android: Make sure to give AnyDesk permission to record the screen. The first session request spawns the permission window. If not properly addressed, open Android settings - Apps - Choose AnyDesk - grant permissions. If this doesn't fix the issue, a headless display adapter will help, this will force your system to render the image.

Incoming print-job

The Remote Print feature allows to print from a remote device to a local printer.
AnyDesk uses a virtual printer (the AnyDesk Printer) on the remote device to send print-jobs to the local printer.

  • Remote print is available for Windows 7, 8.1, 10 and Windows Server and is introduced with version 5.
  • With AnyDesk 6.0.0 for Windows and newer, users can print a local document or file on a printer connected to the remote endpoint.
  • Both sides need to support the feature.
  • Print from any application using the virtual AnyDesk Printer.
  • The driver only needs to be installed on the remote device.

Setup

Install Driver

  • Install the AnyDesk Printer on the remote side. (Automatically installs with AnyDesk.)
  • On Windows 7: Install driver manually in the Printer Settings after Installation of AnyDesk.
Note: You need Administrator privileges to install the driver.

Incoming print-job dialoge

When opening the print dialogue of an application on the remote computer, choose the AnyDesk Printer to print it.
AnyDesk then creates the Incoming print-job dialogue on the local device, to choose an available printer.

  • Choose whether to apply given setting automatically on subsequent print-jobs.
This option allows the same workflow as when working locally.

Print Settings

There are three modes to handle incoming print jobs:

  • Dismiss - (Automatically decline incoming print jobs)
  • Print using Windows default printer.
  • Print using the specified printer.

Actions

  • Request Elevation: Request administrative permissions for AnyDesk on the remote side. For this the remote side needs to accept the UAC Request.
  • Switch sides: Changes the direction of the presentation. Use this feature if you want to show something on your desktop to the remote user during a remote support session.
  • Ctrl + Alt + Del: Invokes the secure attention sequence on the remote machine (pressing these keys cannot be transmitted directly by AnyDesk, as the operating system does not permit it for security reasons). This option is only available if AnyDesk is installed on the remote machine or AnyDesk ist started with administrative rights.
  • Take screenshot: Saves the current session image to: %homepath%PicturesAnyDesk

Display

Options to adjust the appearance of the session:

View mode
  • Fullscreen mode: Switches AnyDesk to Fullscreen mode. (faster)
  • Original: This option displays the image untouched in original remote resolution. If the remote desktop does not fit, the view will be scrolled to the mouse cursor position. In case the remote monitor needs less area than the local monitor, grey bars are inserted at the sides.
  • Shrink: This option shrinks the displayed image if necessary to ensure that it fits into the available screen space. Instead, grey bars are inserted at the borders.
  • Stretch: Unlike the above option, it stretches the image to cover the available screen. The image might appear blurry, if the remote monitors resolution is much lower than the local resolution.
  • Auto Adopt Resolution: When AnyDesk is in window mode and the remote display panel doesn't fit into the Main Window, this option reduces the remote resolution to let it fit into the available window. This option works for both directions lowering the resolution for a smaller window, or increase it for a window bigger than the displayed remote panel. In the best case, the resolution is equal on remote and local side, when using this option.

Quality

These settings determine the perceived quality of the connection. This is a trade-off between reaction speed (low lag) on the one side, and good rendition of the remote image on the other side.AnyDesk performs a detection of the connection quality during every session preamble. You can choose how the results of the connection quality measurement affects the rendition of the remote machine.

  • Best audio/video quality: This mode has the best rendition but at the highest cost of transmitted data. Use this mode with fast connections. You can select this mode on slower links as well if your work involves few data intensive operations, such as using a text editor.
  • Balanced: If selected, AnyDesk tries to choose the best trade-off between laggyness and image/audio quality.
  • Optimize reaction time: Choose this mode if you want the best reaction time and a feeling as if there are no transmission programs involved at all. This can visibly affect the image quality, depending on the connection speed.
  • Preserve details: Choose this mode and 'Best audio/video quality' for a Lossless image.
  • Detect connection speed: If you unselect this option, the measured bandwidth is not used as a basis for selecting the quality. Instead, three predefined parameter sets are used. Not recommended. Use this mode if you suspect an error in the measurement of the connection quality.

Anydesk Virtual Monitor Windows 10

Apart from image quality (which is DeskRT quality for GUI data and video/vp8 quality for fast moving natural images) and audio quality, some effects of the graphical user system will be disabled if needed in order to keep the bandwidth requirement low.

Visual Helpers

  • Show remote cursor: Determines whether AnyDesk renders the remote users cursor. This enables the user on the remote side to point you something.
  • Show move/size-helper: For slow internet connections, moving or resizing windows can get too slow for fluent work. Check this option so AnyDesk immediately shows the position of the remote window by overlaying a purple transparent rectangle.
