Initiate multi-screen collaboration:
In the phone window on the notebook, click an app to open it, and right-click in the window to exit the currently opened app. You can also use a mouse to scroll up or down in the phone window.
You’ll have access to the input method on the notebook, for entering text in the phone window, as well as keyboard shortcuts for copying/pasting text between your phone and notebook.
Note: This feature is currently supported on the HUAWEI MateBook 13, HUAWEI MateBook 14, and HUAWEI MateBook X Pro 2019. More notebook models will be added soon.
2) Drag Phone Files onto Your Notebook Quickly:
Drag and drop: Open Gallery or File in the phone window displayed on your notebook. From there, you can drag pictures or files onto the desktop, or into a folder on the notebook. You can also send a file on the notebook, by dragging it into a chatting window from your phone.

Set it up
On the Face recognition screen, touch Set an alternate look, and follow the onscreen instructions to add another look.
19) Keep screen on while looking:
