Computer / Streamer selection

The first screen to appear after launching the client application (not counting the First Time Wizard), is the Computer list.  This screen will show all computers that have the Splashtop Streamer installed and are currently  logged in to, with the same Splashtop Account.

 

For each computer (Streamer) in the list, the Edit icon to the right of the computer name allows you to change the resolution options of the corresponding computer.  Choices are:

  • 800 x 600
  • 1024 x 768 — this is the best-fit resolution for an iPad, but may affect the icon and window sizes on the actual computer.
  • "Native Resolution" does not change the computer resolution, so there are no icon/window side effects.  However, the display will appear smaller on the client.
  • "Best Fit" (some platforms) chooses the highest supported resolution that matches the local devices aspect ratio

 

Over-the-internet connection

  • Requires a Splashtop Account, and that account must be currently logged into.
  • Requires having Splashtop Business already subscribed to.
  • You won't be able to log in to your Splashtop account unless you subscribe to Splashtop Business in advance.
