W365: Display Settings in Windows App preview for Android


Below are the settings available when you click on your account and choose the display options. 

You get two options to use the default resolution or match your device resolution. 



When you click on the orientation option, it shows three options.
  • Auto Adjust
  • Lock to Landscape 
  • Lock to portrait
Auto Adjust:

You can change the orientation to auto adjust when you turn the mobile if you have the auto rotation off.

The display will turn to portrait mode if the mobile device is tilted to portrait position. The display will turn to Landscape mode if the mobile is tilted to landscape position.

Also you can set to lock in either Landscape or Portrait mode even if the default auto rotation is set to off.

Landscape Mode: This is ideal for most tasks, as it mimics the typical desktop monitor layout.

Portrait Mode: This may be useful if you're working with documents or vertical layouts.

Recommendation: Stick with landscape mode for most tasks or using an external monitor for casting the screen but switch to portrait mode if you're working with text-heavy applications like Word or Excel.



Also you can set a custom resolution of your choice by selecting the custom option and click save.

You can choose this option if you are using the device to cast the screen in an external monitor that best suits the resolution.

2. Laggy or Unresponsive Display:
   - Lower the resolution and display  quality settings.
   - Ensure you have a stable internet connection.

3. Parts of the Screen are Cut Off:
   - Enable the match this device option in the display settings.

4. Frequent Disconnections:
