Play, pause and turn it down — from anywhere in the room
Big, simple buttons for your computer’s music and video, easy to hit in the dark.
These are the same buttons a media keyboard has, so Spotify, YouTube, VLC, Apple Music and most other players respond to them right away.
What you can do
Play, pause and skip
The buttons you use most, big enough to find without looking.
Volume and mute
Your computer’s volume, not your phone’s.
Presenting too
The same controls switch to slide buttons and a talk timer when you need them.
How to start
- Connect your phone — Bluetooth on Android, or Wi-Fi with Remotype Host.
- Open media controls.
Worth knowing
- Part of Premium. Works over Bluetooth on Android, and with Remotype Host on Mac, Windows and Linux.
Good for
- Pause the film to answer the door, without finding the laptop.
- Skip the song at a party without leaving the conversation.
- Turn the computer down before the neighbours knock.
