If the Mac you are connected to is connected to multiple displays, you can select which display you wish to use with Screens.
If you are connecting to a PC, it is also possible to select a particular display but not on the fly.

Multiple Displays Issues on macOS
If it seems like your Mac cursor is stuck on a particular display or seems to be clicking elsewhere, you may need to set another of your displays as the main one or change your display arrangement. You'll find more details in this blog article.
Selecting a display on a PC
On-the-fly display selection is a feature offered via Screen Sharing/Remote Management on macOS. You can, however, accomplish the same result with a PC by changing the port number in your saved “screen” settings. Choosing a particular port number selects a corresponding display.
Usually, port 5900 is used when Screens connects to your computer. If you have three displays, you may use ports 5901, 5902, or 5903 to specify Display 1, Display 2, or Display 3, respectively. Most VNC servers on PCs support this feature.
Screens for iOS
Display number 1 will be selected.
Screens for macOS
Display number 1 will be selected.
