I have the following situation. In my home office, I use a Mac Mini with a large 32-inch screen for personal work. My work MacBook is right next to it. Now I’d like to display a large window from the MacBook on the Mac Mini’s screen while simultaneously using the MacBook’s (Air 15") built-in display. However, I can’t get this to work with BetterDisplay. I can only get both displays to appear as windows on the Mac Mini. The MacBook screen then goes black. Is there a configuration in Better Display that can achieve this, or is this an intentional limitation of Apple Remote Screen? |

It's a Screen Sharing setting - click on the [i] button and change ScreenSharing Type to Standard if you want to share an existing screen. |

Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I don't want to share an existing one. I want to essentially extend the existing physical screen with another virtual screen, which will then appear as a virtual screen on a different system. Both should be controlled via the target system. |

Right. That is fine, but the virtual screen (after connecting) will be an existing screen for Screen Sharing. So simply connect the virtual screen on your MBA, then use Screen Sharing on the mini to reach the MBA, make sure the sharing type is "Standard". You can then select which screen the Screen Sharing app should show. |

Thank you very much |

Where Du I find the [i] Button? |
|
In the Screen Sharing app, the list of connections. |

OK i found the [i] Button ;-) But then I have the Issue that I only can mirror the HW Display of my MacBook to the Mac Mini. I want to leave the HW Screen where it is and extend that screen to a virtual screen that lives on my Mac Mini. |
