Displays

Choose a screen, rearrange your monitors, and trade sharpness against bandwidth.

The Displays tab of the viewer dock.

The Displays tab showing three connected screens and the quality presets
Three screens connected, with the quality presets underneath.

Picking a screen

Every display on the Mac is listed, up to eight. Tap one to switch to it. Any display can be paused individually, which stops encoding it — worth doing for a monitor you are not looking at.

The arrangement canvas

Arrange switches the viewer into a mode where you drag the Mac's windows and monitors around directly — "Drag to aim · tap to click · hold to grab a window". Done returns you to normal pointer control.

Arrange mode: grab a window and move it, without hunting for its title bar.

Virtual screens

Add a software screen creates a display that does not physically exist, at a size you pick, up to three. It gives the phone a workspace of its own instead of mirroring the monitor you are already using. Remove it when you are done.

Quality

Four presets:

PresetResolutionTrade-off
AutoadaptiveFollows the connection. The default
Sharp1080pBest picture, most bandwidth
Balanced720pThe middle
Saver540pLowest bandwidth, softest picture

The session header shows what you are actually getting — live · 1920×1240 · 24 fps · Auto.

If text is smearing or the picture keeps softening, you are bandwidth-limited — try Saver, or get both devices onto the same Wi-Fi band.
