Your phone becomes a touchpad and keyboard for your PC. It is useful for presentations or a PC connected to a TV. Every session needs approval on the PC, and the PC shows who is in control.

Steps

  1. Allow remote input on the PC

    On the PC open your phone › Permissions and set Remote input to Allow (off by default).

  2. Start the touchpad

    On the phone tap Touchpad and choose the PC. The PC asks for approval.

  3. Control and type

    Move and tap on the phone to control the pointer. Use Type on the PC to type text.

  4. Stop

    While it is active the PC shows “… is controlling this PC” with a Stop button. Stop from either device.
