    Please refer https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic, Ubuntu and *official* flavors of Ubuntu (https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours) are on-topic on this site. The on-topic link provides alternate SE sites for non-Ubuntu OSes. *The laptop part of your question is off-topic (not Ubuntu or flavor); so the on-topic desktop PC just has to use viewing software compatible with whatever you decide to use on your off-topic laptop; the most important part is off-topic here, SE Unix & Linux allows both OSes* – guiverc Aug 13 '21 at 11:33

    Try `ssh -X cheese`. Replace `cheese` with the appropriate video capture software you have in the Elementary OS laptop. This approach only uses `ssh` and does not use any video software in the Ubuntu desktop PC. I am voting to close this question as off-topic. See [Connect two computers with SSH in a home LAN](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1107987/connect-two-computers-with-ssh-in-a-home-lan) for how to set up `ssh`. – user68186 Aug 13 '21 at 12:28
