SKYPE PREVIEW ON WINDOWS PHONE WINDOWS 10
The touchpad is simply an app, however, so you can slide over to another task if needed.Ī Windows 10 Mobile phone projected onto a 60-inch screen. You can also access the phone’s keyboard to enter text-as well as the mic, which I found to be pretty handy for dictating text. You can slide your fingers around to move the cursor, tap with your finger to open apps, pan and scroll with two fingers, and right-click by tapping those two fingers.

In Connect mode, the 950’s display transforms itself into a touchpad. Tapping the Windows key brings up the Start menu. You can set a custom, landscape background for your monitor, and apps align themselves in a PC-like taskbar at the bottom of the screen.

With the Connect app running, your phone projects a PC-like, slightly low-res desktop view onto your display, roughly similar to the look and feel of a Surface Pro 4 in tablet mode. Microsoft goes to a great deal of effort to make your Connect experience feel like using a full-fledged computer. The Connect app projects a Windows 10-ish desktop environment onto the PC, allowing you to use the phone’s basic functions and UWP apps in a full-screen environment. You’ll need to unlock both devices, then launch the Continuum app on the phone and Connect on the PC. Though the connection process is seamless enough, connecting both devices takes a bit of prep. Unfortunately, only certain newer phones like the Lumia 950 work with Continuum, not older phones like the 640. The Continuum app on Windows 10 Mobile connected to a Surface Book and its Connect app.Īs before, Continuum offers the option of connecting via the wired Display Dock or wirelessly via Miracast-either to a dongle or now to a Miracast-enabled PC. The AU leaves that capability unchanged, but adds something new: the ability to connect the phone wirelessly to the Connect app on a Windows 10 PC. In our original review, we called Windows 10 Mobile’s Continuum feature its most impressive feature.
SKYPE PREVIEW ON WINDOWS PHONE UPDATE
Windows 10 Mobile AU feels like more of an adjustment than an entirely new product, so we’ve chosen to update our original review with our impressions of the AU’s new capabilities. Windows 10 AU for desktops necessitated a re-review of Windows 10. I hope Microsoft continues to improve it.All in all, though, it’s a minor update. However, I find the new UWP app to be pretty slick on both mobile and desktop. at this point, even mentioning Skype to some people sends them into fits. The same thing basically happened with all of the other social network integration in Windows (did you know Facebook used to integrate with and desktop Outlook? - no longer).Īs for Skype as a messaging app. Sadly, Facebook killed this, preferring that customers use its own apps, where it can keep its brand front and center. Years ago, Windows Phone let you send and receive Facebook Messenger messages from inside the native Messaging app on the phone, and we all thought this was the paradigm of the future.

This supports Microsoft's new SMS Relay feature, so that I can send and receive texts on my Windows 10 tablets and PCs.Īs for integration with Messenger, not going to happen. It works pretty well, after a rough start. I use Skype Preview on Windows 10 Mobile as my default messaging app for both SMS and Skype messaging.
