Hi there!
Did anyone experiment with making an installation of wtware working in sort of a KVM way, where you can easily toogle between two hosts in the same session?
If so, how?

What I ment is toggling with for instance a hotkey without having to reboot the raspberry.

Fantastic, didn´t know it´d be this easy!!! Thanks!
Btw, is wtware always connected with both hosts, hence using bandwidth for two hosts simultaneously, or does it only receive data from the host that´s currently showing?

It receives data from all connections. But there is almost no traffic in RDP, when there is no animation on the screen.

Thank you akatik,
Are there any ways of combining the inputs from two hosts in a split screen or overlay, for example?

Ok, sorry I keep on coming up with new ideas.. Can the new rpi4 with its two HDMI-outs output two separate hosts via these on two monitors, and have two mouse/keyboard sets connected which have been assigned, one to each host?
