This article details which touch gestures are supported on Windows and macOS.
Windows
The table below shows the touch gestures supported by the panels when a Windows computer is connected.
IMPORTANT
If ActivDriver is installed on the computer, ensure that Pen Mode is set to Tablet when using apps which support annotations, such as Microsoft Whiteboard. By default, Pen Mode is set to Mouse to enable certain ActivInspire features to work with Promethean hardware. If ActivInspire is also present on the computer, remember to change the option back to Mouse when done.
For more information about the Mouse and Tablet options, please read the Promethean hardware with ActivDriver section of article 1803.
