On your phone, open and enter
For the smoothest, most instant video, connect the phone straight to this laptop: with its charging cable, or by joining the phone's hotspot from this laptop. Regular Wi-Fi works too, with a little more delay.
Both options link the phone straight to the laptop with no router in between, so the video stays smooth and close to instant. LapLink works the same way; only the connection changes.
Cable: the most instant, and the phone charges while you practice.
Then open LapLink and scan as usual. The laptop's status should say Direct. Android phones usually can't tether to a Mac by cable; use the hotspot instead. Both options need a phone plan that allows hotspot. The video stays between the phone and laptop, but the laptop's other internet traffic uses the phone's data.
LapLink v2.2.2. Make sure the phone and laptop show the same version; if not, reload both.
