Relative Mouse Offset

Focus mode
Relative Mouse Offset - Amazon AppStream 2.0

By default, during a streaming session, AppStream 2.0 transmits information about mouse movements by using absolute coordinates and rendering the mouse movements locally. For graphics-intensive applications, such as computer-aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software or video games, mouse performance improves when relative mouse mode is enabled. Relative mouse mode uses relative coordinates, which represent how far the mouse moved since the last frame, rather than the absolute x-y coordinate values within a window or screen. When you enable relative mouse mode, AppStream 2.0 renders the mouse movements remotely.

You can enable this feature during an AppStream 2.0 streaming session in either of the following ways:

  • Pressing Ctrl+Shift+F8

  • Choosing Relative Mouse Position [Ctrl+Shift+F8] from the Settings menu on the AppStream 2.0 toolbar in the top left area of your streaming session window. This method works when you use classic mode or Desktop View.
