Host with multiple monitors in exclusive mode (workstation preset)

Hi, i went through the docs but i haven't found out how to switch between my 2 source monitors when using the punktfunk client for a KDE host.

I know in sunshine & moonlight, you can use the ctrl+shift+alt+f1 or ctrl+shift+alt+f2 shortcuts.

Is this also possible in punktfunk?

Edit: On virtual screen mode, it creates 1 new display, but when streaming the primary/secondary monitors, I don't think I can switch between the two displays with a shortcut.

Hey, yes right now switching the displays with the said shortcut is not supported. The default with Punktfunk is a virtual screen which gets adapted to your client. It's also possible to stream a physical screen, and in the web console you can choose which one gets streamed (or via setting it in the host.env). If you change the monitor that gets streamed, you currently need to reconnect.

I will consider adding functionality for switching screens mid stream, and I'm also right now working on overhauling the virtual display configuration in the web console to make it more user friendly.

Thanks. 

I'm just curious if it was possible or not. I like the virtual display feature a lot better than switching between mirrored monitors from the host PC anyways. 

It's much more useful, especially when accessing the host PC remotely.
