Live Screen Wall for Supervisors: Monitor Multiple Company PCs in One Dashboard

A technical and organisational guide for small and mid-sized businesses and IT service providers: how to build a live screen wall with Wolfeye Remote Screen to see multiple company-controlled PCs at once – always subject to the laws and regulations that apply in your country, industry and use case.

Many owners, team leads and IT service providers have a very practical wish:

“I want to see several important company PCs at once in one view – like a live screen wall for supervisors.”

With Wolfeye Remote Screen, this is technically possible on company-controlled Windows PCs: you can build a grid-style dashboard where multiple live screens are visible side by side. This can help, for example, in support teams, call centres, back office environments or training setups.

At the same time, screen and employee monitoring is always a legally sensitive topic. Whether you may use software like Wolfeye at all, for which purposes (for example, training supervision, quality assurance or security) and under which conditions (for example, prior information of employees, explicit consent, internal agreements) depends on the legal framework in your country and on your specific situation.

This article therefore focuses strictly on technical possibilities and typical organisational patterns. It does not make any statement about what is legally permitted in any country and it is not legal advice.

Before you deploy Wolfeye or any other monitoring software, you should always obtain individual legal advice in your region. Legal experts can help you clarify in particular:

With this important limitation in mind, let’s look at how a live screen wall with Wolfeye can work technically on company PCs.

1. What Do We Mean by a “Live Screen Wall” with Wolfeye?

In this article, a “live screen wall” means a view where you see several company-controlled PCs at the same time in the Wolfeye dashboard. Each PC appears as a live screen tile in a grid layout.

From a technical perspective, the goal is not to control the PCs remotely, but to observe the screen contents in real time, for example:

Wolfeye Remote Screen is designed exactly for this scenario: it focuses on live screen view and an optional screenshot history so that authorised persons can understand what happens on selected company PCs.

Which of these scenarios are lawful in your country and under what conditions is a legal question. This article cannot answer it and does not recommend any specific legal strategy.

2. How a Multi-PC Live Screen Wall Works Technically in Wolfeye

Technically, a multi-PC dashboard in Wolfeye follows a straightforward model:

Typical technical steps (after legal questions have been clarified) are for example:

  1. Define a small pilot group of company PCs
    For example, three helpdesk PCs, four call centre agents, or a set of training PCs that are clearly under company control.
  2. Install the Wolfeye software on these PCs
    On each selected PC, you install the Wolfeye program according to the technical documentation. Only devices with the agent installed can appear in the dashboard.
  3. Assign meaningful names and groups
    In the dashboard, give each PC a clear name (for example, “Support-1”, “Training-PC-3”) and organise them into groups so that you later know exactly which tile belongs to which workstation.
  4. Open the live grid view
    With the pilot group set up, you can open the live view and see multiple screens in a grid. This is often what supervisors refer to as a “screen wall”.
  5. Adjust quality and intervals
    Depending on your connection and policies, you can adapt quality and screenshot settings so that the dashboard is usable without putting unnecessary load on your network.

The embedded video further below shows such a multi-PC view in practice. It is a purely technical demo and does not make any statement about what is legally allowed in a specific country or case.

3. Organisational Patterns: Who Sees the Screen Wall and for What Purpose?

In practice, a live screen wall is usually intended for specific roles and clearly defined purposes. From an organisational point of view, the following patterns are common:

It is important that your organisation defines who is allowed to see what and why. A clear concept might include, for example:

How exactly you must document such rules and whether works councils or similar bodies must be involved is a legal and HR question that should be clarified with experts in your country.

4. Practical Examples for SMBs and IT Providers

From a technical and organisational point of view, live screen walls in Wolfeye often follow recurring patterns. A few examples:

4.1 Call centre or support team

A supervisor sees several agent PCs in a grid:

Whether and how such monitoring is permissible in a call centre environment depends strongly on national law, collective agreements and internal policies.

4.2 Training and onboarding PCs

Some organisations mainly use Wolfeye to support training and onboarding on company PCs. Trainers can see how trainees work through example processes in real time and can intervene more quickly if someone gets stuck.

Again, whether you may use a screen wall for training supervision, whether you must inform trainees and whether consent is required depends on the legal situation in your country. This article does not answer these questions.

4.3 IT providers with multiple clients

IT service providers or MSPs may build separate screen walls for different clients:

All legal and contractual questions – including who is responsible for informing employees – must be clarified in the client contracts and with legal counsel.

5. Privacy by Design: Limiting What You See, When and for How Long

Because screen monitoring is so sensitive, many organisations choose a “privacy by design” approach even at the purely technical level. Examples include:

From a technical standpoint, Wolfeye is flexible enough to support such measures. How exactly they should be configured in your organisation should always be aligned with legal, HR and data protection experts.

6. Legal Considerations and Explicit Disclaimer

Because the topic of screen and employee monitoring is so sensitive, it is important to highlight the central limitation of this article once again:

This article describes technical possibilities and typical organisational patterns of using Wolfeye Remote Screen to build a live screen wall on company-controlled PCs. It is not legal advice.

In many countries, aspects such as the following may be relevant for the legality of any monitoring (examples only, not exhaustive):

Because these factors vary heavily between countries and even between individual cases, this article deliberately remains on a general technical and organisational level.

Before you deploy Wolfeye or any other monitoring software, always obtain individual legal advice in your country. Only a qualified legal expert can tell you, for example:

Always treat Wolfeye as a technical tool that may only be used within the boundaries of the applicable laws and your internal rules – never as a substitute for legal or HR decisions.

7. Video Walkthrough: Building a Live Screen Wall with Wolfeye

The following video shows a technical walkthrough of how multiple company-controlled PCs can appear together in a Wolfeye live dashboard – similar to a “screen wall” for supervisors.

The video is for technical demonstration and organisational inspiration only. It does not replace legal advice and does not guarantee that any specific use is legally permissible in your country.

Frequently Asked Questions – Live Screen Wall with Wolfeye

Do I have to include all PCs of my company in the screen wall?
No. From a technical perspective, Wolfeye only shows PCs where the software is installed. Many organisations start with a limited selection of company-controlled PCs (for example, a specific team or training PCs) and expand later if needed. Which devices you may monitor at all should always be clarified with legal counsel in advance.
Is a live screen wall suitable for training and onboarding?
Technically, a screen wall can help trainers see how trainees work through processes on company PCs in real time. Whether and under which conditions you may use such monitoring for training supervision in your country depends on local law, possible information duties and consent requirements. Always seek legal advice before using such scenarios.
Does Wolfeye replace time tracking, HR systems or contracts?
No. Wolfeye adds a visual layer (live screens and screenshot history) on top of your existing tools. It does not replace employment contracts, time tracking, HR processes or data protection management. It should only be used as one technical component in a broader, legally compliant setup.
Is secret or non-transparent monitoring allowed?
Whether any form of non-transparent or secret monitoring is allowed depends entirely on the laws and regulations in your country, your industry and your specific use case. This article cannot answer that question and does not give any legal recommendation. Before using monitoring software, always clarify with qualified legal experts whether monitoring is permissible at all in your scenario and, if so, under which conditions (for example, information, consent, internal agreements).

Conclusion

A live screen wall in Wolfeye Remote Screen can make selected company-controlled PCs visible side by side in one dashboard.

From a purely technical and organisational perspective, this can help SMBs and IT service providers, for example, to:

At the same time, screen and employee monitoring is always embedded in a legal framework. Whether and how you may use Wolfeye depends on the laws and regulations in your country, your industry and your specific use case – for example, when supervising training, performing quality checks or securing systems.

Wolfeye does not replace legal advice. A pragmatic approach might be:
Used in this way, a live screen wall in Wolfeye can become a valuable technical component in your overall setup – always under the condition that you respect legal requirements and inform employees appropriately where required.
