Wiki/Settings reference
Android app settings
Open Settings in the app. Reset at the top puts every setting back to its default; paired computers are kept.
Display
Section titled “Display”| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution | Auto | Auto (best latency), Native (sharpest), or a fixed size: 1080p, 1440p, 4K |
| Refresh rate | Auto | Auto runs at the screen’s top rate, or pick a rate the screen supports |
Streaming quality
Section titled “Streaming quality”Shown only when your computer supports it. The computer applies these and serves every connected device from one encoder, so the most demanding request wins.

| Speed or quality | Favour quality | Five steps from Performance to Quality |
| Frame-rate cap | 60 fps | 30 to 120 fps |
| Bitrate | 50 Mbps | 5 to 60 Mbps |
Connection
Section titled “Connection”| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Connect automatically over cable | On | Starts a session the moment a cable is plugged in or a pairing link opens, with no tap |
| Reconnect over Wi-Fi when the app opens | On | Dials the last computer you used over Wi-Fi. If it doesn’t answer, you pick from the computers on your network. |
| Reconnect after a drop | On | Quietly redials when a connection drops unexpectedly. Disconnecting on purpose still ends the session. |
| Stay connected (keep retrying) | Off | Never gives up, for a device left plugged in through a long computer sleep. Needs “Reconnect after a drop”. |
On screen
Section titled “On screen”| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
