IP Can I connect three laptops to a fourth one and control them from that?

    Hello

    I want to connect three laptops to a fourth one and control them from that fourth one.

    I would ideally need minimum latency and I also need to full control (video, audio, hotkeys etc).

    Can you tell me how I can do that please?

    Thanks!

    Hello DGen,

    Thank you for reaching out on our HelpCenter.

    Typically, a KVM switch allows you to control multiple computers from one console, NOT from another computer.

    The only way to use a computer (your 4th laptop) to control multiple computers (your three other laptops) is to connect the 3 laptops to a KVM over IP switch. The switch gets connected to your network* (and gets assigned an IP address). Then you could bring up a Web browser on your 4th laptop (which must also be connected to your network*) and type in the switch's IP address. This will allow you to access, control and switch between the three laptops using your 4th laptop.

    * The network can be your LAN and/or Internet.

    Hope this helps!
