Switching the Control Window Between Full Size And Fit-To-Window
When controlling a client, you can see the client window at full size, or scaled to t
the control window. Viewing the client window at full size shows the client screen at
its real pixel resolution. If the controlled computer’s screen is larger than your control
window, the screen show scroll bars at the edge of the window.
To switch in-a-window control between full size and t-to-window modes

2 Click the Fit Screen to Full Display button in the control window toolbar.
Switching Between Control and Observe Modes
Each control session can be switched to a single-client observe session, in which
the controlled computer no longer takes mouse and keyboard input from the
administrator computer. This lets you give control to a user at the client computer
keyboard or place the screen under observation, without accidentally aecting the
client computer.
