Switch modes

  1. Step 1:

    Use the Standard | Focus | Performance switch in the middle of the toolbar.

  2. Step 2:

    Or press Ctrl+Shift+F to go to Focus mode and back.

Standard

The grid you arrange yourself: drag, resize and place tiles anywhere. This is where most desks live.

Focus

One stream fills about 72% of the stage and the rest sit in a strip beside it. Tiles cannot be dragged in Focus.

  1. Step 1:

    Click a tile in the strip to make it the big one.

  2. Step 2:

    Or press Ctrl+Shift+S (Switch Focus) to move to the next stream.

  3. Step 3:

    On a narrow window the strip moves to a row under the big stream.

Performance

For slower PCs or long sessions. Tiles you are not focused on are paused and drop to a lower quality, and the frosted blur is turned off. Click a tile to focus it and it plays normally.

Performance shows once Show all controls is on in Settings → Appearance.
