New to pi, quick VNC question

Question: When I VNC to the pi I get a desktop on the VNC client but the TV connected to the pi stays at the login page.

First off, great build. I’ve been a long time fan of the ubuntu distro but I’ve never gotten around to purchasing a raspberry pi until I got the pie 2 two days ago.

So my question is about vnc4server. I was playing with tightvncserver but ended up trying out this tutorial instead. (https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-vnc-server-on-ubuntu-14.04).

I’ve moved the pie into a new area connected to a TV and I’d rather not scratch this VNC build to get it working. I was wondering if I’ve set it up to start a new session with each new VNC connection or not and if I can change that so that when I VNC in I get connected to the desktop displayed on the TV.

Thanks in advance.
