Hello, I am wondering if the following scenario would be possible: I want to play a single-player game on my computer with a friend who lives in a different house and owns his own computer. He would connect to my computer and be able to see my screen while I see my screen as well. My computer would receive the mouse and keyboard signals from both my mouse and keyboard and his mouse and keyboard (obviously just one mouse pointer on my screen). We would then be able to play a game on my computer where he controls the mouse, and I control the keyboard, or vice versa via the internet.

Would this work? I am under the impression that Windows Remote access allows only one user to access a computer at any time so not sure if that would work. We also have skype, and could maybe transmit the video/sound aspects through there. I'm mainly confused as to how we could transmit the mouse and keyboard signal.

Any help is appreciated.

You could use a software called TeamViewer. However, if you're going to play games, you will most likely lose a lot of frames in the process, as a result of transferring data over the Internet. The other individual will see it normally at full frames, but for you it'll be reduced.

Of course, I don't think there is anything g better. TeamViewer wasn't created for games. On a note, TeamViewer is completely free for personal use.

I was thinking there probably isn't something specifically for what I said, but I'll try TeamViewer and see if that works. Thanks for the replies.
