Entertainment projector remotes belong in the entertainment category, and CINEMOOD fits there as a control bridge between your smartphone and a connected mini projector. The official CINEMOOD app lets you navigate menus, adjust focus, and manage content on your Storyteller device from a mobile phone. Running CINEMOOD on a full desktop or laptop means using a real keyboard for text input, staying logged in across longer sessions, and keeping the app visible while you handle other tasks on the same machine.
CINEMOOD serves as a remote control for a cloud-connected family projector that displays content on screens up to 150 inches. The app itself does not stream or play content; instead, it manages the projector's menus, input focus, and settings. On a PC, you gain practical advantages: keyboard input for credentials and search fields, a larger workspace to see the app alongside your streaming services or media files, and persistent login so the app stays open while you work or watch.
Core Remote Control Functions
CINEMOOD gives you essential control over the physical projector:
- Navigate the projector menu and interface from your computer keyboard
- Adjust image focus remotely without touching the device
- Enter search terms and passwords using a full keyboard instead of on-device buttons
- Browse content libraries and cast photos or videos to the projector
- Lock buttons to prevent accidental changes during playback
Why Desktop Setup Makes Navigation Easier
The smartphone app's primary function (controlling the projector) becomes more fluid when CINEMOOD for Windows PC runs on your desktop. Keyboard input is faster for entering usernames, search queries, and streaming service credentials. One user noted that mouse control and two-finger scrolling work better than the projector's physical buttons once the connection stabilizes. On a desktop, the app can sit in a background window while you manage other applications, including Virtual Cinema, which recreates a darkened theatre view right inside your browser workspace, keeping you logged in and ready to adjust settings or cast new content without picking up your phone each time.
Content Management and Casting
CINEMOOD on PC lets you manage what plays on your projector's huge display. You can browse your own media library, queue up content, and send movies or photos from your computer to the projector without physically transferring files. The app syncs with cloud-connected content subscriptions, so your selections persist whether you're controlling the device from your desktop or phone. Watching content on a 150-inch screen from a comfortable position (especially while lying down or reclining) changes how you experience movies and cartoons with family.
Setup and Ongoing Use
Initial setup requires enabling location services and connecting your device to the CINEMOOD app. Once the connection is established on your PC, install CINEMOOD on PC letting you manage your Storyteller from your desktop during regular use. The app works to work alongside your projector's existing content: pre-loaded cartoons and books, as well as your own media files and streaming services you cast to the device. Future updates to CINEMOOD promise video messaging and subscription management features, expanding what the app can do beyond basic remote control.

FAQ
Do I need the CINEMOOD app to use the projector?
The CINEMOOD Storyteller device includes physical buttons for basic control, but users report that navigation is slower and less responsive with buttons alone. The remote app (whether on your phone or desktop) makes menu browsing, text entry, and focus adjustment noticeably faster and easier.
Can I use CINEMOOD on PC instead of my phone?
CINEMOOD for computer works as a remote control for your projector when you have the device paired and on the same network. Keyboard input is especially useful for searching, logging into streaming services, and entering passwords: tasks that are tedious on a phone or the projector's buttons.
What happens if I lose connection between my computer and the projector?
The connection relies on both devices being on the same Wi-Fi network. If your PC and CINEMOOD projector lose connection, you can reconnect them by re-establishing the pairing in the app settings. Connection delays have been reported by some users, particularly during initial setup or when switching between devices.
Will installing CINEMOOD on PC let me watch movies without the projector?
No. CINEMOOD on PC is a remote control app only. It does not play or stream content to your desktop screen. You need the CINEMOOD Storyteller hardware to project content on a large screen.
Can multiple people control the projector with the app at the same time?
Current versions of the CINEMOOD app do not support multiple simultaneous device connections. One user noted frustration with the inability to add or remove devices or switch between user accounts, so plan on a single person controlling the projector from one device at a time.
