Phones, tablets and the LAN

Mirror the desktop on a tablet or TV

Mirror the desktop on a tablet, a phone or a television's browser — start a slideshow on the computer and every Live page in the house follows it.

Live, in the LAN pages' menu, changes the moment the desktop does.

Using it

Open the Live page on a tablet, a phone, or a television's browser, and leave it. When the desktop is showing nothing, it says Waiting for the desktop…. If the connection drops, it keeps showing the last photo and, after a while, says Reconnecting…; it comes back by itself.

Double-tap for full screen.

For a frame on a wall, add the page to the tablet's home screen so it opens with no browser bars.

It is a screen

Every open Live page is also a screen of Multi screen. From Screens ▸ Setup on the desktop you can give it a mode — a pinned photo, a comparer slot, or the stats sheet — and style how it draws its photo. Fullscreen all there asks every open Live page to go full screen.

Only the library open on the desktop has a live picture; the Live page of another shared library says so.
