Hello,

Can someone explain how to do this:
In my store I have 3 computers that dont have monitors, mouses, keyboards... there is only one oculus connected to each pc.
I have also another pc where the employee works.

Now my problem is how can I connect those 3 pc with the main one and control them each separately(play videos to the hmd). Id prefer some sort of lan connection.

I know theres teamviewer that allows multiple sessions at once but it costs too much for a license

Remote desktop will work to control the other computers but you can't have locally and remotely connected sessions at the same time. I think this will defeat the purpose of what he is trying to accomplish. Windows limits you to one active session at a time. There are work arounds though, here's a link to enable the ability. http://www.nextofwindows.com/how-to-allow-multiple-concurrent-users-log-in-windows-8-through-remote-desktop. I think what would really do better for what your wanting to do is shadowing/remote control of the other computers. That would be the perfect solution but you would have to be running server version to be able to do that. I'll see if i can find a way to do it that i am not aware of.

All pcs have windows 8.1(if windows 10 is necessary than I wont complain).
Can Remote Desktop Connection work over lan and have multiple sessions open at once(switch which pc is being controller with one click)?
We also have a program that controls playing videos visually and bans everything else so that employee cant mess with windows or basically play videos for free.

Ill check out Remote Desktop Connection for now

RDC over the LAN? Yes, that is what it is made for.
Multiple connections? Yes.
