# How to Enable or Disable Advanced Desktop Streaming Settings

Machines are Linux and Windows virtual machines with persistent storage, GPU options, and free unlimited bandwidth. They’re designed for high-performance computing (HPC) workloads.

Desktop streaming has two advanced settings: **GAMER MODE** and **Emulate USB Mouse**.

- **Gamer Mode**: Enables relative mouse movements, snapping to specific resolutions, and helps control the bit rate.
- **Emulate USB Mouse**: Enables you to use an emulated USB mouse to help resolve mouse issues in gaming or certain applications.

You can toggle these settings in the **Advanced Settings** window. When you’re streaming a desktop, in the top left corner, click the small circle button to open the drop-down menu. Click **Advanced Settings** to open the **Advanced Settings** window.

In the **Advanced Settings** window, you can toggle gamer mode, which allows you to press **CTRL-B** to capture mouse movement, or emulate a USB mouse, though this may reduce movement accuracy due to emulation limitations.
