I often remote-access my work PC (big screen) from home using my notebook (small screen). The difference in screen sizes means I have to reduce the work PC's resolution to be able to see anything clearly.
So, is there a way to detect when I'm remoting in and automatically adjust screen resolution?
Using Chrome Remote Desktop to remote-in, if that helps.

From Google Foruns:
We're working on a feature that will automatically resize the host desktop to fit the dimensions of the client window; that should be available soon.

Use Microsoft's built-in RDP Viewer to connect remotely to the system and have it automatically resize the desktop for you.

1As a technician who's used a large number of remote control apps, RDP is by far a very non-performant. With chrome remote desktop, I can control games at more-than playable speeds - and it can even handle 1080p video playback. As long as a directx compatible game is running in a window, chrome remote is able to capture it just fine.
I use a headless alienware small-formfactor to play games from my laptop. Sometimes I forget that I'm in a remote session.
Getting this type of performance in RDP requires running remoteFX on a server, and having compatible hardware. – Ape-inago – 2014-05-14T00:02:06.747

2That answer is over a year old, Google hasn't fixed this issue since. – Alex – 2013-10-12T08:26:00.697
