✅ Pairing only needs to be done once. You don’t need to repeat this in future uses.

Step 3: Connect the Tail to the Computer

Once paired, unplug the Tail from the board and connect it to your computer using the appropriate interface.

For Mac OS:

  • Connect the Type-C port of the Tail to your MacBook.
  • Wait a few seconds.
  • A pop-up will appear: [Welcome TailClient].

For Windows OS:

  • Connect both HDMI and USB-A ports to your computer.
  • This ensures stable screen casting since some USB-C ports on Windows are charge-only.
  • After connection, you’ll see: [Welcome TailClient].

Some Windows devices may support direct USB-C connection.
If casting fails, repeat the steps starting from pairing.
