1. A method comprising:
initiating, by a peer device, an instance of an application hosted on the peer device in a remote mode, the remote mode configured to execute the application in another desktop and redirect output from the application to a client device and enable the application to receive input from the client device;
transferring, in response to the initiation of the remote mode, execution of the instance of the application from a general desktop environment of the peer device to another desktop environment of the peer device, wherein the another desktop environment is segregated from other desktops of the peer device;
suppressing input and output associated with the instance of the application executing in the another desktop environment from and to a local user of the peer device; and
providing, by the peer device, the client device with remote access to the instance of the application with use of the another desktop.
