The workaround is to use Pushbullet to receive the notifications on your phone.  Note this is a global setting, which means if you are sharing the entire screen during a call, your personal Whatsapp notification might pop up.  Alternatively, you can use Pushbullet to send the image to the phone and a simple Bluetooth keyboard to type the messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have discovered using 3 profiles Bluetooth keyboards isn&#8217;t as seamless.  Switching between devices there is a noticeable lag for the phone to detect.  On my K480 keyboard, I have found after switching profiles, pressing the PC or the I button (Android) connects much faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">Device Drivers<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As admin privileges are required to install device drivers for the console adapter, this can be a pain.  Logging a case, explaining why you need it etc.  Sometimes the drivers are already on Windows Update.  All you need to do is to connect to the hardware eg Cisco switch a USB cable and run Windows Update.  If that does not work, check out AirConsole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">Applications<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can&#8217;t install the open source app, eg Notepad++, Filezilla etc.  Search for portable apps.  Just remember to install it outside your profile eg c:\\apps<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Working with corporate laptops means giving up on some things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5751","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5751","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5751"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5751\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5760,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5751\/revisions\/5760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5751"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5751"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
