Connecting to Launcher via mobile

The mobile app allows you to connect to Launcher devices wirelessly to launch calls from your mobile and wirelessly sign in to Microsoft 365 on the main display.

Connecting to Launcher is achieved in one of two ways:

• Via Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth 4.0 and above)
• Via QR Code

When connected to a Launcher enabled Windows device:

• You are signed into Microsoft 365 on the main display, where you may access your Microsoft OneDrive content and Outlook Calendar events.
• You may view your Outlook Calendar events on your mobile device and launch these on the main display wirelessly.

Connecting via Bluetooth

This function is only available if you have allowed location services permissions. See how to set up the mobile app for proximity detection.

Follow these simple steps to connect to Launcher using Bluetooth:

2. Once you have identified the QR code on the Launcher enabled Windows device, open the Launcher app on your mobile.

3. While on the Discover screen, press Connect with QR code at the bottom of the screen.
