Setting up mobile controls

Permissions

The microphone and camera are requested the first time you use each. Grant them from inside the app so the prompt is attached to the feature you are turning on.

Quick action buttons

This is what most people use the mobile app for: your pinned actions from the connected device, large enough to hit reliably.

Using the phone's camera

The phone's front camera can provide head and face input for the connected device.

• Prop the device up. Handheld tracking fights every small hand movement.
• Expect battery cost. Continuous camera use is the biggest drain — plan on charging during long sessions.

The same baseline and sensitivity ideas apply as on the desktop — see Head and face controls.

Using the phone's microphone

The microphone screen works the same way as on the desktop: start listening, and what you say is matched against the connected device's App Controls.

Using the phone as the microphone is useful when the computer is across the room, or when a headset is easier to position near your mouth than the computer's built-in microphone.

Switching App Controls

The App Controls selector changes which set the connected device is using — handy when you are away from the keyboard and the automatic switch has picked the wrong one.
