When you take a look at the screen, you find a guiding rectangle in the center. Place your face to fit nose and mouth in the rectangle. Once you place them, press spacebar to start tracking. You can pause tracking or reset tracking region by pressing spacebar again.
LibreMouse detects smile by detecting the region of teeth. So be sure to show your teeth when smiling (only little bit is enough). If you began smiling, left button of mouse will be pressed down. If you stop smiling, the button will be released. Using this strategy, you can click (smile on and off), double-click (repeat click two times) and drag (smile to start dragging, stop smiling to stop dragging)
