I’d like to add my support for a single-click View Only toggle directly on the session toolbar in the RealVNC Connect application, with a clear indication of whether remote control is enabled.
We use RealVNC Connect to monitor keyboard programming rigs running Apple MainStage and playback rigs running Ableton Live during musical theatre productions. We need to keep these sessions visible while preventing accidental keystrokes or mouse clicks from reaching the rigs during a performance.
During a break or between musical numbers, we may need to briefly take control, make a change, and immediately return to View Only. Our current workflow takes five clicks each time we switch.
Apple’s native macOS Screen Sharing application provides this quick switching between observation and control. We choose RealVNC Connect because we need convenient remote access over the internet, and we’d love to have that same functionality available here.
A toolbar toggle would make this much faster and help prevent accidental input from disrupting a live performance. The session should remain connected throughout, with the toggle affecting only our remote keyboard and mouse input.
