    1. I bought Two tiny pilot in order to connect two different laptop but I am able to mirror one and but I am unable to mirror another laptop with a separate tiny pilot.

    2. Also can I use one tiny pilot to mirror multiple laptops?

      Hi @findmeaz, I'm sorry you're running into issues controlling one of your laptops.

      Can you share more details about your setup? For example, are both laptops the same make/model/operating system? And could you tell me how you connect to both of your TinyPilot devices' web interfaces - do you use https://tinypilot.local on both or do you use their IP addresses?

      can I use one tiny pilot to mirror multiple laptops?

      Some TinyPilot users connect their TinyPilot to a KVM switch which allows you to switch between multiple target machines. i.e., TinyPilot connects to the KVM switch, the KVM switch connects to multiple target machines, and you can toggle between the target machines, allowing you to control multiple target machines with one TinyPilot device. We have a wiki of KVM compatibility listing information on compatible KVM switches we collect from the community.

      Please let me know if you have any questions.

          HI David,Thanks for promp reply. I have a wirless router to which I have connected this router https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QDVSWX4?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title to increase number of ports. I've subsequently connected my two tiny pilot devices to these new ports which are running into my two laptops(s)

          I am using https://tinypilot.local (web interface) to access the both laptop(s). but only one seems to me mirrioring.

          Two laptops
          Target ones are differnet
          but the one I am using to access the target ones are same make/model /OS.

            Thanks for those details, @findmeaz.

            Can you tell me the make/model/OS of your two target laptops? It would help if you can tell me which of these you can see using your TinyPilot, and which you cannot see.

            Could you share a TinyPilot log from the TinyPilot that isn't displaying the target laptop's display? On your TinyPilot web interface, go to System > Logs and click Get Shareable URL. Then paste the link in your reply.
