Does anyone remember the PlayStation TV where you could have split screen and the active 3d glasses would only show you your own screen? That was so dope, I miss the golden age of gaming.
Make sure the device you pick up has low latency. Not sure if you can find specs like that in the spec sheets. For watching video, latency is not an issue, but when gaming, you want as little time as possible to go by between you pressing a button and the thing showing up on the screen.
Jokes aside, I think what you’re looking for is called a multiviewer. You want a 2x1 multiviewer to get a view like that, though it might be split vertically rather than horizontally.
Yeah I saw a few on Amazon but they all looked pretty low quality and didn’t mention the split screen view but the other commenter linked one that looks promising so I’ll try it out
Get a card in pc1 that does video input. Connect the video output of pc2 into the video input of pc1. Now the video of pc2 will be in a window on the screen of pc1.
If you’re both on pc, can you use a video chat program to screenshare (your left monitor, for example, in a 2-monitor setup), have both your left screen and your wife’s screen arranged on your right screen how you want them, then have the right screen’s video output to a TV?
I guess you could throw consoles into the mix if you have a capture card.
Or just get a cheap multi viewer. Sure, professional switchers and multi-boxes are thousands of dollars. But you can get a barebones one with no customization, no reclocking, no audio mixing, etc for like… $70?
Click the share button (little circle connected to two other little circles), click More, copy the huge text description, and the clean short link will be in there.

Switched to sunshine+moonlight from steam remote play. Works much better, especially on low end clients. And as a bonus you have full access, not just for steam.
Nice, never heard about Sunshine! How does that work? I have a Debian server with ok specs running for *Arr services, but no games on it. Is it just a middle man I can run on my server or do I need to have games installed on the server too?
I use my server with the steam headless docker and that way I always have games available to stream to my phone. It’s nice that it’s a docker container because then the gpu can be shared between that and plex. You can then install sunshine on the docker and moonlight on your phone or a laptop
It’s basically a self-hosted stream that moonlight connects to within your network. github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/releasesYou still need any and all software that’ll actually be running on the server, but you can use sunshine either for streaming particular applications from it or just as a general all purpose remote access tool. So it’s like Parsec, only FOSS and imo works better too.
You could configure sudo without password only for the wg-quick command. Not a beautiful solution and also not super easy to configure with sudo but it’s an option. Much easier solution is to install doas or opendoas and leave sudo as it is. Let’s assume your desktop user is named variants and in group variants, then putting the following in /etc/doas.conf is expected to work :
permit nopass :variants cmd wg-quick
If your user is not yet in a group, and you add a new group, remember that making such a change usually requires logging out and logging in again because the group changes become visible. Then test with doas wg-quick up wg0
