Moving and resizing apps on HoloLens works a bit differently than it does on a PC. Instead of dragging the app, you’ll use your gaze, along with a gesture or the clicker. You can also rotate an app window in 3D space.
Rearrange apps using your voice—gaze at an app and say “Face me,” “Bigger,” or “Smaller.” Or have Cortana move an app for you: say “Hey Cortana, move <app name> here.”
Move an app
Gaze at the app, and then do one of the following.
- Tap and hold to select the app. Move your hand to position the app, and raise your finger to place it.
-
Select Adjust , tap and hold, and move your hand to position the app. Raise your finger to place it, then select Done .
-
Select Adjust , click and hold the clicker, and move your hand to position the app. Release the clicker, then select Done .
If you drop apps when you move them, make sure to keep your hand in the gesture frame by following it with your gaze.
Resize an app
Gaze at the app, and then do one of the following.
-
Gaze at a corner or edge of an app window, and tap and hold. Move your hand to change the app's size, and raise your finger when you're done.
-
Select Adjust . Gaze at one of the blue squares at the corners of the app, tap and hold, then move your hand to resize the app. Raise your finger to release it, then select Done .
-

In Adjust mode, you can move or resize any hologram.
Rotate an app
Gaze at the app, and tap and hold with both hands to select it. Rotate the app by keeping one hand steady and moving your other hand around it. When you're done, raise both index fingers.
