Raspberry Pi is a fully functional computer residing on a printed circuit board less than four inches long. Designed as an educational tool, it has found widespread favor with hobbyists and professionals alike for a dazzling array of uses.
Screens supports Raspberry Pi’s pre-installed RealVNC virtual network computing server, as long as a couple of configuration settings are respected.
Configure Raspberry Pi’s RealVNC Server

- Navigate to Menu > Preferences > Raspberry Pi Configuration > Interfaces and confirm that VNC is enabled.
- Open VNC Server’s Options window.
- Under Security, confirm that Authentication is set to VNC Password and that Encryption is set to Prefer On.
- Under Users & Permissions, confirm that the Standard User is allowed to receive incoming connections and that a password is set for the user account.
- Double-click the VNC icon on your taskbar to open the VNC Server dialog and make a note of the IP address.
