Is there a way to mirror from my Mini to my MB Air without having to access the Mini? Mini is headless at the moment, and I want to be able to control the Mini without having to hook up a monitor. I do have Teamviewer for remote access, but I was wondering if there was an easier solution when both machines are at home.
 
Remote access software like you're using is the only way I know how. You can't use your MBA as an eternal display for the Mini AFAIK.

You could just use the built in Screen Sharing functionality, or continue to use TeamViewer when you're at home.

So I have fiddled with Sidecar in the past but never knew about Screen Sharing. Simple and easy. Thanks!
