Wired touch redirect

You can control your laptop from a Desk device's screen. This
works when you have connected your Windows 10 laptop to the
device with an HDMI cable and/or a USB-C cable. It's great for
tasks involving drag and drop, drawing programs, and maps.
Touch redirect is available if you're sharing locally or sharing in
a call.
The feature is tested and verified with Windows 10. Basic
functionality should also work with another OS.
Limitations:
•
When you use touch redirect, you can't annotate on the
screen you are sharing.
•
Volume control on the Desk device is not available when
touch redirect is in use. Use the volume control from your
laptop.

it on your browser.
