Default Blank Guest Monitor/Input
I have had a few people ask about the possibility to have Blank Guest Input and Blank Guest Monitor enabled by default for some workstations. Two separate scenarios have been brought up to me:
- A user is granted access through the Automate portal to use Control to access their PC remotely and would like the ability for it to default "Blank Guest Monitor" and "Blank Guest Input" for their session to their workstation so anyone walking by cannot see it.
- A client has a server where the display is visible to employees and is locked until a technical resource has connected to it, in which case it could be alarming to people who do not realize it is a technical resource using the device.
Once in a while, while I am connected to my office PC, ScreenConnect will "reconnect" for some reason. After that, the "Blank Guest Monitor" and "Block Guest Input" are both set OFF after reconnecting. When the session has to reconnect for whatever reason -- turn it back on like it was before instead of setting it off again. A default setting for a given workstation would help to keep it turned on for every connection.
