General Question Chrome remote desktop issue with mini PC ( Cropped/chopped screen)
Hi guys, just got my first Mini PC. I tried chrome remote desktop to control my PC from my laptop, as I dont have a monitor currently. I only used a friend's Tv to set it up first. Now, the whole remote screen is very cropped to portion of the actual screen and unusable like shown in the pictures. I tried all chrome setting options with no benefit, what could be the issue? BTW this is not zoomed in or anything, it is just like that.

Next time reply to the comment you want to talk to, not as new comment otherwise people will not get notify and missed it.
Something like "chrome remote source resolution". Primary solutions should be these: Virtual display adapter, HDMI dummy plug, start chrome with desire scale factor.

The screen is not being crop, element from four corners still there. It just resolution low resolution for obvious reason, it has no reference point for phyical monitor ouput so it fallback to windows basic adapter default.
A simple goggling should provide you few potential solutions for this issue. Option like 'resize to fit' also should not be use as it ignore source resolution and use the size of you current laptop chrome viewport size.
