Session Menu
During a session, the Session Menu can be accessed by swiping from the left edge of the display to the right or vice versa.
This menu allows users to control all aspects of their session, including changing transmission quality and disconnecting the session.
Session Settings
Within the session settings, users can configure:

Select remote monitor
If the connected device has multiple displays, users can switch between the various displays from this menu.
Show keyboard
This option will display the virtual keyboard to assist with interacting with text fields and shortcuts on the remote device.
