# Remote View the Screen of a Computer (Configure Refresh Rate & Monitor Selection)

You can remotely view a snapshot (that refreshes at regular intervals) of a computer's screen managed by Deploy.

If more than one monitor is connected to a computer, you can display monitor 1, monitor 2, or all monitors when remote accessing the computer. The refresh rate can also be configured to 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60 seconds (5 seconds is the default setting).
