USB - what to do they show up as?
- @david
If I connect the tiny pilot - what does the device show in device manager? Is it 'Tiny Pilot' or USB Key board /mouse?
Would I need admin privileges on my work machine to change this?

We have an FAQ that covers most of these.
what does the device show in device manager? Is it 'Tiny Pilot' or USB Key board /mouse?
From the FAQ, TinyPilot appears as a USB hub with the following attached:
- A Generic Plug 'n Play Monitor (for video output),
- A generic USB keyboard
- A generic USB mouse
- A USB mass storage device / thumb drive with the name
TinyPilot(Pro only)- Only when you explicitly mount virtual media
You're free to edit TinyPilot's USB identifiers if you want, but these changes are not supported - when you perform a TinyPilot software update, the update will overwrite any changes to the USB configuration files.
That FAQ also explains how to adjust the audio device name TinyPilot displays on Windows. I don't believe this requires admin permissions, but I cannot test this.
I hope that helps!
