Stop WoW from syncing settings to other PC's

I’m playing WoW on multiple different systems. One is my main PC which is powerful enough to run WoW at the highest settings on 1440p. One is my laptop, where I want to conserve battery and use lower settings. Also the laptop has a 1080p monitor. And then there’s a pretty old machine that wouldn’t run WoW Retail, but WoW Classic is manageable.

However, every time e.g. I resize chat windows on my laptop, it also resizes those chat windows on the PC. Same for ‘smart camera’ (which I like on my laptop because of the annoying mousepad, but I DON’T like it on my PC where I use a mouse) and other things.

Is there a setting somewhere (in-game or in the battle.net app or w/e) where I can toggle between ‘uploading/downloading WoW settings to other clients’ or ‘keep these settings local-client-specific’?

Hi Liquidor!

I’m throwing it out here that the only option you have in this case would be the use of the command
/console synchronizeSettings 0

However, I really do NOT recommend it because there is no way to compartmentalize which settings are being synched up; it is either all of them (among the settings that are saved server side) or none of them.

You risk to get a whole series of other problems as this will also stop the synchronization of other CVARs based settings and have a negative influence on addons as well.

So it is an option, but be aware that there’s some risks and annoyances involved ^^
