Mirroring

Connect only plays the audio from your smartphone during a phone call.
The following icons are available in screen mirroring feature:
● Rotate—You can choose between Auto-Rotate, Portrait, and Landscape view for the mirrored smartphone. The setting on
the smartphone for rotation behavior does not change. However, changing the view on the application tab may rotate the
smartphone screen accordingly.
● Change the language—You can change the input language when you type inside the mirrored smartphone window.
● Share—You can share files from the computer using the mirroring tab. You can either click or tap the share icon to choose a file,
