Can I set the Player's screen to follow the GM's Screen (i.e. zoom and pan)

I plan on using Roll20 for the first time to put my battle maps on the TV in my living room during our gaming session.  So, I would have a laptop connected to my TV to broadcast the player view, and I would have a laptop that provides me with the GM view.  My plan was to control all the player token movement and scrolling from my GM laptop (so that the player laptop could just sit in a corner while they concentrate on the game).  But, in testing this out, it seems that the image broadcast (player view) needs to be controlled by that computer (player laptop).   So, is there a way to set up the game such that the GM can control the player's screen (i.e. GM can zoom in and the players maps will automatically zoom in also....GM can move the screen to the right and the player's screen will move also.) Thank you in advance :)
You can use a Shift+Ping (hold down shift while clicking and holding the mouse button on the map) to re-center the player's screen on that location. So that will solver your pan issue. But the zoom is independently set by the player.
That will absolutely work for me...thanks for the quick reply....and thanks for making such a rad program
