 To ensure that this functionality works as expected, make sure that you
 have installed the necessary SPICE Guest Tools on the virtual machine.
 
+Automatic redirection of specific devices can be configured in the
+configuration file by setting the `viewer_extra_args` variable.
+
+For example (in the configuration file):
+
+    viewer_extra_args="--spice-usbredir-redirect-on-connect=-1,0x1234,0x5678,-1,1"
+
+Where `0x1234` and `0x5678` are example USB VID and PID, respectively.
+
+The string format is described at:
+<https://www.spice-space.org/usbredir.html#filter-string-format>.
