Mirroring
Screen mirroring enables you to mirror your smartphone to your computer and control it with your keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen using
Dell Mobile Connect application. The screen brightness is reduced when the mirroring is active. Dell Mobile 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, or
you can drag and drop the file to the application window. The file gets copied onto your smartphone after a file is selected, or dragged
and dropped. The sharing menu is displayed on the smartphone to select a sharing app and complete the action.
