Can I share secondary computers screen to the primary?

from Stardock Forums

I have my main computer and my work laptop as the secondary computer attached to it. However when I'm watching zoom meetings on my laptop the pic quality is low, so I would like to be able to view my secondary computers screen on my primary computer so I canwatch the zoom call on my higher definition primary computer screen. 

 

Is something like this possible? Like a hotkey to switch which monitor is displaying in order to grab video from your secondary computer to your primary?

The only way this is possible is if you have KVM and use that (instead of Seamless) to remote into the Secondary:

Mind you, while you will see the Secondary on a (I assume) superior video card \ monitor, the overall quality would be determined by the sending Secondary.

Assuming your monitor has an available HDMI input, and your laptop an HDMI output, you'd do well to connect them via HDMI. Even better, if your monitor supports picture-in-picture, you have an ideal setup. The only problem with this setup is you are not looking at the camera on the laptop, and it appears you are contantly looking off to the side. If your work laptop will accept an external webcam, you can solve this issue by mounting the webcam on your desktop's monitor. You can then continue to use the KM feature of Multiplicity to control the laptop, and see the results on your main monitor, either by switching inputs or through picture-in-picture.
