ScreenSharingHostSettings

The declaration to configure screen-sharing host settings and restrictions.

Declaration

object ScreenSharingHostSettings

Properties

Name	Type	Description
`MaximumVirtualDisplays`	integer	The maximum number of virtual displays to make available to clients.
`PortBase`	integer	The initial UDP port number to connect to the host. Screen sharing requires multiple connections, so the system increments this value by 1 for each additional connection. This doesn’t change the port number that the system uses to initially establish a connection with a host, which is always TCP port 5900.
`PreventCopyFilesFromHost`	boolean	If `true`, the system prevents users from copying files from the screen-sharing host.
`PreventCopyFilesToHost`	boolean	If `true`, the system prevents users from copying files to the screen-sharing host.
`PreventHighPerformanceConnections`	boolean	If `true`, the system prevents clients from establishing high-performance connections to the host.
