How to Use Screen Mirror PC Control
The “PC Control” function of the Screen Mirror allows users to use the computer mouse to control the mobile device on the computer, use the keyboard for input, and also output the sound of the mobile device from the speaker on the computer. If you encounter the difficulties, please seek troubleshooting based on the type of device you are using.
- The “PC Control” function requires your computer with Bluetooth 3.0 or above, and it will be enabled after your mobile device’s and PC's Bluetooth being paired.
- One of the PC Control functions, “audio” function, requires your computer operating system to be 20H1 or later. If it is a lower version, it is recommended that you upgrade the operating system to use this function. Currently, GlideX supports streaming stereo music.
