The specialty control panels help you perform certain actions on your mobile device much quicker, which may require a series of commands when operating on your computer, such as playing a movie, opening a web page or shutting down.

Tap an icon on the Panel Control Stripe to show a panel. Tap on a selected icon to collapse the panel.

Volume Button Remote allows you to use the physical volume buttons on your mobile device to adjust the computer volume or switch slides and pictures. You can operate more intuitively instead of having to tap the virtual buttons on the screen.

When the foreground program on your computer is a Media Remote supported program such as iTunes or Windows Media Player, using the volume buttons will directly adjust the program’s volume instead of the entire computer’s volume.

When the foreground program is Keynote, PowerPoint or Windows Photo Viewer, the volume buttons will switch slides or pictures.

Volume Button Remote is one of the Media Remote Panel's functions, so you need to purchase the panel before you can use this function.

The shortcut bar will display corresponding keys depending on whether the connected computer is a Windows or Mac.

The four keys on the left are modifier keys that can be used with English keyboards or numeric keypads to send shortcuts. The three on the right are quick controls that can be used independently.

Due to the limited screen size, each key of a shortcut combination has to be entered one after another instead of being pressed at the same time. For example, Ctrl-Z, tap Ctrl first, then Z.

If you need to enter a combination that contains two or more modifier keys, you need to long press each modifier key. For example, Shift-Command-3, long press Shift, then long press Command, then 3.

Since single clicking the Windows logo key is a commonly used command, so after clicking it, it can no longer be sent in combination with other keys. So to use the Windows logo key in any shortcut combination, you also need to long press it.

If you use a soft keyboard that supports voice input, you can simply type on a computer by clicking the voice button and speaking to your phone.

If you want to prevent other Remote Mouse users on the same Wi-Fi network from connecting to your computer, you can set a password on the Remote Mouse desktop app.

Click the Remote Mouse icon on your computer's taskbar (top right corner on Mac, bottom right corner on PC), choose "Settings".

Go to the "Settings" Window, enter your new password in the connection password section, click "OK" to apply. Click "Reset" to cancel the password.

macOS Mojave has significantly enhanced the security & privacy protection, it requires re-authorization when using Remote Mouse or a specific feature for the first time under macOS Mojave, otherwise Remote Mouse will not be able to work. This is very similar to how you authorize an app on the iPhone.

1. Accessibility

The first time to use Remote Mouse after connecting to the Mac, you will be prompted to grant access. Choose "Open System Preferences" and add Remote Mouse to Accessiblity.

If you did not authorize properly in the above steps, you need to do it manually. Go to Mac System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility.

Click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your Mac password to unlock it.

Click the plus sign and add Remote Mouse to the whitelist.

Click the lock icon again to prevent further changes (optional).

2. Automation

There's no need to manually add Remote Mouse to Automation, as it will be requested automatically by the system when needed.
