Thanks. I already have a .bat-file which executes a powershell-script, that switches to a given resolution. Very fast and efficient. but still less elegant than getting away with sharing a custom part of your screen.

this

Import-Module $PSScriptRoot\setScreenResolution\setScreenResolution -Verbose

Set-ScreenResolution -Width 2560 -Height 1440


executes this (which I copied from a MS resource somewhere)

Function Set-ScreenResolution { 
 
    <# 
        .Synopsis 
            Sets the Screen Resolution of the primary monitor

Do you know why it's important to make fast decisions? Because you give yourself more time to correct your mistakes, when you find out that you made the wrong one. Chris Meech on deciding whether to go to his daughters graduation or a Neil Young concert
