Video: how to use your phone as a Zwift controller
If you're using Zwift for your indoor training and you're running it on a laptop computer, or a desktop computer hooked up to a big screen, then the chances are that it's not easy to access all of the in-game functions while you're riding.
There's a whole level of interaction, from choosing your direction at a turn to messaging other users, that's a lot easier to get your hands on if you've also got your smartphone hooked up to your network. Zwift's Mobile Link app is designed to work as a game controller, giving you an easy way to control the game without reaching for your wireless keyboard or sweating over your laptop. If you have bluetooth devices such as a heart rate strap then it's currently the only way to feed that data into the desktop version of Zwift.
> Zwift - three setups to suit every budget
We've put together this vid to show you how to get hold of the Mobile link app, and how it works. Here's hoping you find it helpful. Happy Zwifting!

It really shows the incompetence of these governing body's. 7 months to decide that .
