Re: Airplay question

Throughout all of this explanation, you never really give us an idea of whether your desktop monitor is a separate unit, as you would have in a Mini, or an integrated unit, as you would have in an iMac.

I have a mini with a separate screen, and an HDMI switch so that I can do the whole job with just a single thunderbolt cable. But I gather that won't satisfy you.

The only alternative I can think of is for you to install a remote service screen sharing program such as AnyDesk on both of your machines, and then have your home machine screen-share your laptop. It's clunky, and there will probably be some lag, but it's the only thing I can think of that would serve the wireless requirement.

For some work tasks, it would be much nicer to see things on the larger screen, especially since I am already screen sharing from my computer at work to my laptop at home, so a lot of things are too small for my old eyes.  I can connect the laptop to the desktop's monitor with an HDMI cable, but I'd rather not mess around with extra cables and toggling back and forth.  Is there an easy way to do this wirelessly (i.e., view my laptop's screen on my desktop's monitor), such as with Airplay?
