Teamviewer is a free (for personal use only) and excellent tool that allows remote controls. Teamviewer does a good job in passing different kinds of firewalls. It allows you to connect to your desktop from your smartphones. It also provides VPN support. Teamviewer allows you to choose which screen if your remote PC has several monitors.
On successful connection to the remote PC, the top bar will popup a hint saying you have multiple screens, and you can easily pick any of them in the dropdown list. You can also double click the application icons on the taskbar to bring them into the current console which is convenient if you just need one screen.

No idea about teamviewer, but tools like on premise R-HUB remote support servers does support multiple monitors. i.e. Multi screen. You may try the same.
Thank you for your information. Definitely will try.
I want to do this differently. I have two laptops side-by-side and I want the inferior laptop to work as a second screen. The only way to connect these two devices is via TeamViewer, so I ask how can I set it such as to instead of controling the other laptop, it runs as though it was a second monitor.
No, I am afraid this is not possible via any software . Why not just get another standard monitor?
Try Spacedesk
thanks, will do.
I must have answered incorrectly the first time, because I can’t see any options now. Maybe I need to uninstall, then reinstall?
just tried that, the multiple-monitor hint appears again. It is the second-to-right option in the top-bar.
Does this prompt only happen once? I don’t see an options to view or select any additional monitors on the system I am accessing.
yes, it prompts the first time.
