Yeah i got a Problem somehow :D

I have a PC that only has a power cable and an internet connection, no monitor, no keyboard, no mouse. I control this PC via TeamViewer. Now I would like to connect it to Discord and stream something. The problem is, as soon as I disconnect the TeamViewer connection, the stream in Discord disappears. I noticed that the resolution changes on the PC. When I reconnect, for example, windows are in a different size. I have googled a lot and this could be because of my 'headless' system. Does anyone know how I can fix this issue?

Maybe TeamViewer is simulating a monitor, and as soon as it disconnects, the PC no longer has one, causing it to scale down. But how do I prevent this?

Teamviewer doesn't support headless systems. I'd assume some virtual display driver may help with this, but you'd have to test a few.
Have you tried using ParSec instead? It's kind of like teamviewer but it may not have you run into the same problem. You may have to mess with ParSec's settings to get it to stop disconnecting from your stream though

Nice! :thumbsup:
I definitely prefer ParSec, but you will need to potentially forward ports for it to work.

Will look up ParSec, but i dont really dont need that much controll. Its more about monitoring.

What i do now could be another topic, but maybe i'll get the answer here.
I have an VPS with 2core/4gb Ram/200gb storage and it need to run a "game"
at the moment it cant, since there is no gpu in the VM

can i somehow trick the VM into thinking it has an actual GPU ? the thing i try to run does not really need alot of power, but idk about virtual graphic cards at all.

Ah then Teamviewer is probably better if you set up unattended access.
For that you'll most likely need to reach out to your VPS provider to enable GPU passthrough if they have it. You may be talking about GPU spoofing, but I don't have experience with that unfortunately
