Settings
Overview
The Settings page (/settings) holds your per-user preferences. The sidebar entry is Settings.
There is no save button. Each control writes its value to your account the moment you change it, and a confirmation message appears. The only button on the page is Restore Defaults, inside Default Quality Settings.
Values are stored server-side as named user preferences, so they follow your account to any browser or machine. The page groups them in this order: Tenant ID, User ID, User Display Name, Show Notification to User, Theme, Default Keyboard Input Mode, Default View Mode, Default Capture Settings, Default Encoding Settings, Default Quality Settings.
The remote-control sections are defaults for new sessions. A running session reads them at start, and that session's own toolbar can override them without changing your stored preference.
Tenant ID
A read-only field labeled Your Tenant ID. The icon at the end of the field copies the value to the clipboard.
User ID
A read-only field labeled Your User ID, with the same copy icon.
User Display Name
A text field labeled Shown to partners when connecting. Enter up to 25 characters. Letters, numbers, spaces, underscores, and hyphens are allowed. Anything else is rejected when you edit the field.
Show Notification to User
One checkbox: Notify users when a remote control session starts. It is on by default. The stored preference name is notify-user-on-session-start.
The tenant can override this preference. When your tenant has its own value for notify-user-on-session-start, that value wins regardless of what you choose, the checkbox is disabled, and an info bar reads This setting is being enforced by your tenant administrator.
Theme
A radio group with two options.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Dark | Dark theme. This is the default. |
| Light | Light theme. |
The stored preference is theme-mode. The header bar carries a second control for the same preference, so changing the theme there changes it here too.
The stored value also accepts Auto, which makes the interface follow the operating system's dark-mode setting. No control on this page or in the header writes Auto. You can set it through the user preferences API.
Unauthenticated visitors do not have a theme preference. They get the theme the server is configured to serve.
Default Keyboard Input Mode
Controls how keyboard input is sent during remote control sessions.
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Auto | Types the logical character for text input, while keeping physical-style handling for commands, navigation keys, and modifiers. This is the default. |
| Physical | Simulates the same physical key position on the remote machine, regardless of keyboard layout. |
| Virtual | Prefers the logical key or character value, so pressing a key types that same character regardless of the remote layout. |
Default View Mode
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Fit | Fits the remote screen to the browser window. This is the default. |
| Stretch | Fills the browser window, which can distort the aspect ratio. |
| Scale | Uses a fixed scale level. Set the level with the Scale Level slider in the session's view controls. |
Default Capture Settings
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Capture cursor | off | Includes the remote cursor in the stream for new sessions. |
| Enable DirectX | on | Uses DirectX for screen capture. It is faster on Windows. Turning it off can improve compatibility in some situations. |
Default Encoding Settings
One select field, Encoding Format.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| WebP (less bandwidth, higher quality, slower encoding) | Smaller frames and better quality at the cost of encode time. |
| JPEG (more bandwidth, lower quality, faster encoding) | The default. Quicker to encode, so it suits fast-moving screens. |
Default Quality Settings
The header of this section carries a Restore Defaults button. It resets the quality numbers (Auto Quality Maximum, Auto Quality Minimum, Auto Quality Lower Threshold, Auto Quality Upper Threshold, Manual Quality, and Max Mbps) to their defaults. It does not touch the two switches below.
Quality Mode
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Enable auto quality | off | Adjusts image quality based on the remote sender's outbound bandwidth. With it off, the fixed Manual Quality value is used. |
When Enable auto quality is off, the section shows Manual Quality as a number field and a matching slider. It is a JPEG quality value from 1 to 100. Default: 75. This one control saves a short moment after you stop moving it rather than on every step.
When Enable auto quality is on, the section shows four fields instead.
| Setting | Default | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Auto Quality Maximum | 80 | 2 to 100 | Highest quality used while outbound bandwidth stays below the lower threshold. |
| Auto Quality Minimum | 20 | 1 to 99 | Lowest quality used once outbound bandwidth reaches the upper threshold. |
| Auto Quality Lower Threshold | 5 Mbps | 1 Mbps and up | Quality starts dropping after outbound bandwidth rises above this value. |
| Auto Quality Upper Threshold | 15 Mbps | 2 Mbps and up | Quality reaches the minimum once outbound bandwidth reaches this point. |
The fields keep each other consistent. Raising the minimum above the maximum pushes the maximum up, and the thresholds are kept apart the same way.
Bandwidth Cap
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Enable Max Mbps | off | Sets a hard outbound bandwidth cap. |
| Max Mbps | 15 | The cap in megabits per second. Capture on the remote end pauses while usage is above the cap and resumes once it falls back below it. |
Preferences Set Elsewhere
Four more user preferences exist. They are not on this page. The Dashboard toolbar sets them, and they persist the same way.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Hide offline | Hides disconnected devices from the device grid. On by default. It is disabled while a search term is entered. |
| Open in new tab | Opens device access from the Dashboard in a new browser tab. On by default. |
| Show only untagged | Limits the grid to devices with no tags. Off by default. |
| Show only ungrouped | Limits the grid to devices in no device group. Off by default. |
See Dashboard for where these controls sit.
Not On This Page
Account security is not part of the Settings page. The sidebar entry Account opens /Account/Manage, which carries Profile, Email, Password, Passkeys, External logins, Two-factor authentication, and Personal data.
Two-factor authentication is configured on /Account/Manage/TwoFactorAuthentication. The sidebar entry there is Two-factor authentication.
Email changes happen on /Account/Manage/Email, under the heading Manage email. Enter the address in New Email and choose Change email. Nothing changes until you open the confirmation link that is sent to the new address. When the current address is still unconfirmed, the page also shows a Send verification email button for it.
Server-wide settings live on the tenant and server settings pages, not here. See Tenant Settings.
