Splashtop Streamer Deployed vs Login
Settings
Enable Auto Launch
You can enable this option to have the Splashtop Streamer start automatically when your computer starts up. This will allow you to connect to your remote computer when it connects to the internet.
Sound
The sound settings allow for you to setup how sound works when you are connected to your remote computer:
- Output sound over the remote connection only (Play sound on the Local computer only)
- Output sound on this computer only (Play sound on the Streamer/Remote computer only)
- Output sound both over the remote connection and on this PC (Plays sound on both computers at the same time)
For MAC Streamer, only the first two options are available.
You probably need to install a Splashtop Remote Sound driver in a MAC machine to allow audio to transport from the Streamer to the client device.
If the settings is changed on a remote session, the session is required to reconnect for the change to take effect.

Installing the required driver here will allow you to print files from your remote computer to a local printer through the Splashtop connection.

Request Permission to Connect

- Reject connection after request expires (At login screen, allow automatically) - If the remote computer is at the login screen, the permission request will be automatically accepted.
