Remote access to Mac studio with dual screen

I’ll have new a fixed configuration at work with a Mac studio connected to dual-screen monitors, while I have a MacBook Pro connected to two screens as well at home.

The question is, is it possible to remotely access the mac studio on my laptop while still having the dual monitors at work displayed and accessible on my 2 screens at home? I haven't found any similar cases online.

Screen Sharing can only control one of multiple remote displays I have a 3-monitor setup at work, and have screen sharing enabled. I can remote in and see all the screens, switch between them, etc. BUT... I can only control one display, apparently whichever one the Finder was last active on. I've seen other people ask this question, and have tried the only answer I've seen: make sure the arrangement on the target computer's displays is properly aligned and not overlapping. That did not help. I've already looked at the guide here: Control or observe one client computer with Remote Desktop - Apple Support That guide does not help at all for this. Does anyone know how to gain control of more than one screen when the target computer is a multi-display setup? Thanks,

Using iMac as monitor for Mac mini via Screen Sharing (VNC) Several posts have asked about using an iMac as a display for a mac mini. I have a solution that seems to work for me, that maybe will meet the needs of others. My iMac even though it's really old does have "Screen sharing" capabilities the steps I take are Connect the to any monitor, to do the initial setup. (I used the my 720p TV which has an HDMI port.) Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet port on the Mac mini to the Ethernet port on the iMac. Enable Screen Sharing on the Mac mini . Go to System Settings > Sharing. Check the box for "Screen Sharing" and configure access (e.g., "On" or "Only these users"). Find the Mac mini's IP Address: Go to System Settings > Network and note the IP address of the Mac mini. Connect from the iMac: Open the Screen Sharing application on the iMac. In the "Connect To" field, type "vnc://<Mac mini's IP address>" (e.g., "vnc://192.168.1.100"). Enter the necessary credentials (username and password) for the Mac mini. If you're looking to use your iMac's keyboard and mouse to control the Mac mini while viewing its desktop on the iMac screen, try switching to "Control Mode" within the Screen Sharing app on the iMac.

How can I use my Mac at work from home (not using terminal/ssh)? I used to to use TeamViewer but they want too much money. I'd like use Apple Remote Desktop to share my Mac screen at work from my home Mac but can't seem to figure that out. The work network has as shared IP on a cable modem so I can't share it just by IP address. Is there a way to share a single computer on a shared IP network? I see how to do it on SSH but I want to screen share not use terminal commands (unless a terminal command allows me to take full control of the screen). Thanks in advance.
