Cursor Control

The cursor control page allows manipulation of Igloo Core Engine’s on-screen cursor from a remote device.

Usage

Click or tap the “Start casting” button to begin controlling the cursor.

If you’re using a mouse and keyboard, your mouse will be locked to the Control Panel window, and all further mouse movement and keyboard interactions will be forwarded to Igloo Core Engine. Press [Escape] to unlock your mouse and stop controlling the Igloo Core Engine cursor.

If you’re using a touchscreen, a touchpad will be shown. You can use this like a laptop’s standard touchpad. Press the “Keyboard” (⌨️) button to show your device’s on-screen keyboard if required.

Configuration

Configuration is accessed through the “Settings” button (or the top-left cog icon on mobile). Configuration is stored on your device, separately for each connected media-server.

Cursor sensitivity

Change the mouse cursor’s speed

Automatic canvas UI management

Enable - automatically turn canvas UI on when casting is started
Disable - automatically turn canvas UI off when casting is stopped

Presentation clicker mode (mobile only)

Display back and forward arrows while casting, which send back and forward arrow key presses - for anything that requires the use of these buttons.

Pre-requisites

As for all Igloo Control Panel usage, the Igloo Core Service must be installed and running on the media server.

To display any Canvas UI, including the cursor that this page controls, Igloo Core Engine’s Canvas UI setting needs to be on.

An appropriate controller must also be configured.

Open the Controller menu from Config -> Controller
Add an Igloo Cast controller with the [+] button
Change the controller’s Mode to Cursor.
Adjust cursor size and sensitivity as required in the Cursor dropdown.
