Using Miniremote

Via Headspin Remote Control

To use Miniremote, first choose a host and then start a device to start in Remote Control. Click on the Open <code class="dcode">Miniremote</code> button in the top right corner.

A new page will be opened with the miniremote device UI.

Via QR code

To easily open miniremote on a handheld device, hover over the QR code button in the top left corner and scan the QR code with your device.

The device will open the miniremote device UI.

Note that currently iOS devices will be able to open the miniremote UI for multitouch support, but will not receive any images from the device being controlled.

Via a Direct URL

You can access the device UI directly by visiting <code class="dcode">https://ui.headspin.io/miniremote/&lt;device_id>?token=&lt;api-token></code>. An example link that works with your API token is provided below:

https://ui.headspin.io/miniremote/<device_id>?token=<your_api_token>
