Using Head Mouse with Cephable

Note: Cephable 2.0 is now live. We are actively updating all our step-by-step guides to reflect the new user interface and processes. The guides in this section remain usable, though some of the shared screens and recordings may display the old Cephable Interface. Thank you for your patience while we undergo these updates.

Presenter: Alex Dunn, Founder and CEO of Cephable
