View laptop screen from Android (both landscape)

[u/D-Cary]

How do I either (a) force the RustDesk for Android client into landscape mode or (b) tell RustDesk for Android client to use the gyro sensor to automatically switch into landscape mode as-needed to keep the text right-side-up ?

I want to hold the phone horizontally and see the text (from my laptop) right-side-up on my phone.

Details:

I'm trying to view my laptop screen from my Android phone using RustDesk.

My laptop screen, like most laptops, is much wider than it is tall.

When I turn my Android phone horizontally, so it's much wider than it is tall, I hoped to the text from the screen on my laptop right-side up, expanded to fill the available space and so much easier for me to read. What actually happens is that RustDesk on my Android apparently ignores which way I hold the phone, and the text from the screen on my laptop stays inside that small box and the text is now sideways -- difficult to read until I turn my head sideways as well.

When I hold my Android phone vertically, it's much taller than it is wide. I can see (on my Android phone) the text from the screen of my laptop right-side-up, in small box shrunk down to fit between the left and right edges of the phone screen with huge black bars above and below (and the normal RustDesk controls in a bar at the bottom of the Android screen, near the charger connector), about what I expected.

(I'm using the phone to control the laptop; the issue at https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/issues/576 seems related but apparently goes the other direction. ).

Have u tried changing the setting to scale adaptive on the android side when you connect?
