Accessing second display over first monitor

Question

I got and projector on my computer which totaly works fine. I can move windows back and forth with keybinds and what not. Usually thats all I need but sometimes I need to interact. Like clicking somewhere in the window. The problem is that I don't see the output of the projector since it is in another room. And changing the display settings to "clone" instead of "extend" all the times doesn't work really well. I tried using virtual desktops, but non of them can do what I need.

So does anybody know, how I can see and interact with my second screen just like I would do with an virtual desktop?

I really hope someone had this problem already.

Cheers.

I'd suggest a different solution: when you're in the room with the projector, run a 'remote mouse/keyboard' app on a smartphone or tablet to control your PC. Then you can sit in front of the projector and when you need to click, pull out your smartphone/tablet and use it to move the mouse and click on whatever you need.

As an alternative to a 'remote mouse/keyboard' app, you could use an app that lets you view the PC's screen remotely (and use the mouse/keyboard remotely), but that would be overkill because you can already see the screen when you're in the room with the projector.

So the idea is to make your mouse/keyboard accessible from another room instead of making your second screen accessible from another room.
