Toggle to switch host monitor
Aida Enna
The only thing keeping this app from being 100% IMO is the ability to switch to other monitors - Some games/apps will open on other monitors and without a way to switch host monitors via the client, you're just out of luck. Please add a toggle to change the host monitor (like the adaptor setting in the host settings, just accessible with a hotkey!)
Thanks a ton :)

+1 on this. This is a major reason our entire office isn't switching over to Parsec...

Chiming in again for a hotswitch key or at least put it in the button menu. I just tried switching to the second monitor for the first time, and got stuck there. I had to google for how to switch back, which is how I found this post. I had to use AnyDesk to connect back to the remote computer to switch Parsec back to the main monitor, which obviously isn't ideal.

+1 ing for this again. Even if you could fix the client so that the hotswitch is still accessible from the system tray after switching screens it would be great. Many a time have I locked myself on the 2nd screen and had to use another remote app to get it back :)

Would love a hotkey, having the serious problem that an app pops up on the 2nd monitor and if i switch to that then i cant switch back as the Parsec app that is on the original other monitor is unaccesible ;). !

Still hoping for this to be added in, along with the ability to stream to two monitors on the connecting PC if the host PC has two or more monitors.

A cheeky bump for this also. If atall possible the hot key/ toggle switch would be totally amazing and mean that I could use Parsec exclusively : )

Would love to be able to cycle between monitors with a hotkey or a button in the client overlay

A small bump for this - This is the only major issue preventing me from using parsec for all my needs and replacing Teamviewer/a host of other programs. I'd love to buy Parsec Warp (and recommend it to all my friends), but I can't until this issue is resolved :( It's literally unusable.
The post below is not a solution - If I change the adaptor to another monitor, I can't see the parsec settings anymore. So then I'm stuck on the other monitor until I remote into the host with something else to fix it.
A toggle to switch monitors would solve this issue (and be really helpful!).

+ 1 for a hotkey, or maybe the option to switch displays in the overlay button? Really appreciate you implementing the switch atall. Making it a little easier to hot switch while in the client would be a great refinement : )

This exists :). You can change to any monitor on the host that has a GPU connected directly to it via HDMI. You do need access to the Parsec app to make it happen though. You can navigate to host settings once you're connected and change the monitor. It will switch.

Benjy Boxer: That's the issue - say I'm using a laptop downstairs to control the host and play games. I can't move things to the main monitor I'm seeing with hotkeys (they don't work?) and if I change the adaptor to another monitor, I can't see the parsec settings anymore. So then I'm stuck on the other monitor until I remote into the host with something else to fix it.
