Field | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
Fullscreen | Checkbox | Checking this box will set the Cloud Session to run in "Fullscreen Mode". In this mode, the session will occupy your entire screen. Your local taskbar, start menu, and notification area will not be visible while your session is connected. I connection bar is displayed at the top of the screen allowing you to minimize or close the session. By default, this checkbox is not checked. |
Monitor | Drop Down Lists | If not running in fullscreen mode, this selects the monitor attached to the system where the cloud session will initially appear. The monitor number, current resolution, and an additional indicator if it is the system primary monitor, are displayed. By default, the session will appear on Monitor 1. |
Resolution | Trackbar | Slide the caret on the trackbar to change the size of the cloud session. This options is only available if not running in full screen mode. The option at the far right will always be "Maximized". This will fill the available screen real estate but will leave your local taskbar, start menu, and notification area displayed. If you select an option less than maximized, the session will display in a window of the selected size. This field defaults to "Maximized". |
Experience | Drop Down List | This drop-down list configures some low-level settings within the Cloud Session. In most cases, it is optimal to leave it at the default "Balanced" setting. If you experience display anomalies while connected to the cloud session, you can try changing the "Experience" to "Quality". However, note that this will require a higher bandwidth connection and can slow down your cloud session. If you have a slower internet connection, you can change this setting to "Performance" at the expense of image quality within the "Cloud Session". |
