Host Settings Dialog Box

With the Host Settings dialog box, you can change your guest preferences on the fly, during an active screen-sharing session.

To open the Host Settings dialog box, open the screen-sharing window's system menu and choose Host Settings. (The Host Settings option is available only when the screen-sharing host is a Windows computer.)

Changes you make in the Host Settings dialog box apply only to the active screen-sharing session. They will not be applied to subsequent screen-sharing sessions.

During your remote-control session, Timbuktu Pro checks the Filter setting on both the host and guest computer. The more restrictive (faster) setting is used. (If the host computer is hosting multiple guest connections simultaneously, the most restrictive Filter setting is used for all sessions.)

Note: If these settings are not enabled on the host computer, but enabled on the guest computer, the guest settings will be used during the screen-sharing session. However, if these settings are enabled on the host computer, the guest computer cannot disable them. If the host computer is hosting multiple guest connections simultaneously, the settings for all guest computers are "combined," and the same settings are used for each connection.
