Touchpad
Your screen works like a laptop trackpad: slide to move the pointer, tap to click, two fingers to scroll.
Direct touch
The pointer goes where your finger is. Tap to click, long-press to right-click, drag to drag.
Gamepad
An on-screen D-pad and A/B/X/Y buttons held as real keys (arrows, Space, Escape, Enter, Tab) for games, kiosks and media apps.
View-only
Watch without any touch reaching the computer, with pinch-zoom still available.
Presenter
Draw on the remote screen in red for the people in front of it; double-tap clears. Nothing is clicked.
Mouse & keyboard on desktop
In the Windows, macOS and Linux app the remote pointer follows your mouse 1:1 with clicks, drag, wheel and every key and shortcut. Map mode sends physical key positions for games.
