Cursor, zoom and overlays

The pointer

Show cursor overlay (Settings › On screen, on by default) draws your computer’s pointer on the device itself, so it moves straight away instead of waiting for the next video frame. With a Windows PC, the pointer travels separately from the picture, so moving it costs no video at all.

Zoom and saved views

Pinch the picture to zoom, twist two fingers to rotate it, and drag with two fingers to pan. Save the views you come back to (say, zoomed into a palette corner) under Zoom views. Zooming changes only what the device shows.

Night layer

Night layer (off by default) warms the image for late sessions. It is local only: your computer’s screen and anything you draw are untouched.

Overlays for when something feels off

Overlay	What it shows	Default
Connection health overlay	One sentence on how the connection is doing	Off
Delay breakdown overlay	In milliseconds, where the delay comes from: the computer and the connection, or this device	Off

Both are in Settings › On screen.

Keep-awake

While a picture is streaming, the device’s screen stays on. On Windows, Keep this PC awake while serving (on by default) also stops the PC from going to sleep during a session.
