Moreover, there’s a lot Smart Connect can do. Here are all its features and capabilities as per Motorola:
Features of Smart Connect
Cross control: Smart Connect facilitates seamless navigation between your PC, tablet, and phone using a single mouse and keyboard only. By seamlessly switching between your devices, you could use the same mouse and keyboard to control them all. This feature would help unify your entire digital workspace, ensuring a seamless experience.
Swipe to stream: Imagine watching a video on your mobile or tablet and seamlessly continuing on your PC from where you left off. Or, picture listening to music on your phone on the way home and continuing on your PC upon arrival. The swipe-to-stream feature takes care of these scenarios, allowing you to transfer your playback across devices using swipe gestures only.
Notification sync: With this feature, you will receive messages and notifications across all your connected devices. Hence, you won’t need to switch between your devices to see what’s up.
Share hub: If you are an Android and Windows user, you would know that sharing files between the two isn’t seamless. Smart Connect eliminates this hassle, making sharing media and other files between your connected devices effortless. If you’re running low on storage on one of your devices, you can simply access the content from other devices without the need to transfer it beforehand.
Smart clipboard: Smart Connect integrates the clipboards of all your connected devices, allowing you to easily copy and paste texts, images, and other files from one device to another.
Instant hotspot: This feature uses your phone’s hotspot to share your mobile data with other connected devices.
Webcam: With Smart Connect, you can utilize your smartphone as a webcam for your PC, enhancing the video quality during calls or livestreams. Additionally, you can extend video calls from your phone to other connected devices with larger displays.
