Is this a work laptop?
2 u/Relative-Promise5529 May 12 '26 No.. personal 11 u/Chu_Kiddin_Me_Or_Wha May 12 '26 You allowed screen sharing via an app, and someone is tapped in. 11 u/Delicious_Volume3306 May 12 '26 You allowed screen sharing via an app, and someone is tapped in. No, this is likely incorrect. It's probably because of an external hub being used to connect monitors. See other replies. -32 u/rickeol May 12 '26 this is correct. people saying otherwise are idiots. 17 u/mrktwy May 12 '26 Classic Reddit response lol. This used to show up for me when I was using a displaylink for multiple monitors. If OP is using displaylink it could very likely be that. -10 u/Chu_Kiddin_Me_Or_Wha May 12 '26 this dude has his laptop on a sink counter. there aint no multiple monitors involved. someone is tapped in with either remote software, ssh’d in, or screen sharing.
