KVM to Seamless Operation

June 3, 2025 5:16:11 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I have 3 PCs next to each other and would like to transfer the side 2 to the center one for video calls. I planned on using KVM to do this. After I'm done with the video call, I'd like to end my KVM and switch back to Seamless mode, but Multiplicity seems to get stuck in KVM mode after that and I can't get it to toggle back to Seamless. Is this a bug? Or is there a setting I need to toggle to make this happen?

While I am not getting a perfectly clear image of what you are wanting, I can say that (for testing) I often KVM to my Secondary - that is normally set to Seamless - and when I stop the KVM connection, Seamless use is resumed (Seamless is suspended when you KVM to the same Seamless setup PC).  You should see the connection toast from the system tray when the Seamless connection is reestablished.

Your description is what I'm trying to do here. Any ideas on why it wouldn't switch out of KVM mode and flip back to Seamless use? I'm not seeing any changes in my system tray when I switch out of KVM mode.

How are you closing the KVM session?

And at the risk of a dumb question, it is set on the grid as well?

I've just been clicking "x" on the KVM window that pops up when I enter KVM mode. I do have my other machines set on the Seamless grid. The seamless functionality works until I enter KVM mode and then it no longer works. Am I not exiting out of KVM mode appropriately?

If after you close the KVM session, you restart the MP process, does it work then?
