The user interface of Desktop Editing

A Session opened on your laptop or PC will be displayed with all contents exactly as on the Sessionboard. Your Sessions are always displayed in 16:9 ratio, regardless of the format of your PC / laptop display. In addition to the full view, you also have the possibility to enlarge to a smaller section (zoom).

The same tools are available for editing the Session as on the Sessionboard, but in a representation adapted to working on a PC. As the host of a Shared Session, you can also change the access rights to a Shared Session:

Zoom Level

You can zoom in (+) on details of your Session, or zoom out (-) for an overview. A percentage value indicates the zoom level at which the Session is displayed.

The options for setting the zoom level can be found behind the double arrow symbol:

Two buttons are available as quick standard settings

• With the button "fit to screen width" you adjust the zoom level to the width of your screen.
• The button "full screen" sets the Desktop Editing to full screen and the view of your Session to full overview. 

Please note: The zoom can also be operated via the standard inputs of your PC, e.g. with the mouse or with gestures on a trackpad.
