Hey,

Was wondering if I could control multiple VM's on one screen?

If I wanted 100 accounts to watch a youtube video, it'd be great if I could control all of them at once. So I only have to open a browser once, paste in the url once, etc...

I think what I'm looking for is called screen mirroring. Not sure though.

I'm using virtualbox at the moment.

Thanks for any input.
 
I'm not sure why you need to run 1 VM for each account.
It's a waste of resources.

I'm running 10-30 browsers in each server.

Just be sure that each browser runs with it's own browser-profile (history, cookies, saved passwords, user-agent, etc).
 
You can create multiple instances of VB on your computer but you will need a bunch of RAM
 
Thanks for the responses. I have around 50 virtual machines running in virtual box right now. I have the ram and cpu power necessary to run all of them. I was wondering how to control all of them at once? Rather than going into each vm. I know I can run multiple tabs in each VM but how do I control all VM's at once on one screen?

You need programming language for that. Python for example.
I have proxmox node (something similar to virtualbox but way more advanced) and I control all VMs I have there with Python, without knowing python... I wouldn't be able to perform tasks I need to perform.

You're a lifesaver satyr. I'll be looking into proxmox node and python.

Any tips for getting started on proxmox node? I mean like what kind of python skills do I need, if I take some online python courses will that suffice?

I never found a tool like that.
The industry standard is to run 1 browser for each account, many in the VM.
You may find a dashboard for that.

By the other hand, most of the commercial dashboards are good to run a few number of accounts (100s), all of them in the same computer.

I had got to develop my own technology that I'm not offering (that was a note for the moderator), because it's for internal use only of my company.
 
I dont think this is ready-made solution. But with some coding skills this can be done with rotating proxy + Multilogin automation plan.
