Shared mode

☑ When starting a session, other users’ sessions with the same server are not terminated. The sessions run alongside each other with equal status.

Fullscreen mode

Color Level

The color level used in VNC viewer sessions. If the session is running over a small bandwidth connection, the value can be configured to reduce the needed bandwidth.
Possible values:

  • Default: The highest available color level is used. The VNC viewer automatically selects the level based on the speed of the connection. (Default)

  • Very Low (8 colors): The VNC viewer is forced to use the color level regardless of the speed of the connection.

  • Low (64 colors): The VNC viewer is forced to use the color level regardless of the speed of the connection.

  • Medium (256 colors): The VNC viewer is forced to use the color level regardless of the speed of the connection.
