Touch redirect works when you have connected your Windows 10 laptop to your Board or Desk Series device with an HDMI cable and a USB-C cable. For Desk Series, Touch Redirect also works if you only use a USB-C cable. This feature is particularly useful for activities like dragging and dropping, using drawing software, and working with maps.

Touch redirect works when you're sharing locally or in a call.

The feature is supported with Windows 10. Basic functionality may also work with another OS.

Touch redirect is not supported on Board 55, Board 70, DX70, and DX80.

Limitations

  • When you use touch redirect, you can’t use annotation on the screen you’re sharing.

  • Volume control on the board isn’t available when touch redirect is in use. Use the volume control from your laptop.

  • If the board has a touch controller that is connected, you can’t move your self-view while a USB-C cable is connected to the board.
