Media & controls
Everything you would reach for on the keyboard.
Control your PC’s media, volume and power from your phone: pause a film from the sofa, turn one app down in the mixer, or shut the PC down from bed.
Media and volume
- Now playing: title, artist and artwork from any app that shows Windows media controls, with seek, play/pause, next and previous.
- Volume: master volume and mute, plus a per-app mixer.
- Brightness: laptop panels and external monitors that support DDC/CI.
Shut down, sleep or lock the PC from your phone
- Power: lock, sleep, hibernate, restart, shut down and sign out — each asks to confirm.
- Scheduled shutdown: set a timer and cancel it any time.
- Screenshot: grab a monitor and save or share it on the phone.
A persistent media notification, Quick Settings tiles (lock PC, mute) and a home-screen widget (lock, sleep, shut down) keep the basics one swipe away. To turn a sleeping PC back on, see Wake-on-LAN.
