QR code connect

The AirSync sender versions for Android and iOS include a QR code connect feature that allows participants to start sharing by simply scanning a QR code using the camera on their devices. Sharing is instant and eliminates the need to type a display code and one-time password.

Use QR code connect

Verify first that your network already have IFPs that have AirSync up and running. Afterwards, perform the following steps:

On the target IFP: 

1. Open the AirSync app.
2. Note the QR code labelled as Quick Connect. 
3. Leave the app running, then head over to your device.

On the target device:

1. Launch the AirSync Sender app on your mobile device.
2. Click the   QR Code icon on the top right.
   If prompted, grant the AirSync Sender app permission to access the camera.
     
3. Once the camera is active, use the camera to scan the QR code. 
4. On the next page, click Share or Receive.
   Note that for mobile devices, selecting Share will cast the whole screen to the IFP.
   

   
   

5. The IFP should now start showing the contents playing on the device's screen.

Manage sharing

The AirSync sender versions for Android and iOS provide the following options to manage the active sharing session:

• Add annotations
• Pause sharing
• Stop sharing

Note the following behavior:

• A sharing session can last up to three hours. Five minutes before the end of the three hours, a countdown will be displayed at the top right of the screen. The session will automatically close after the countdown. 
  
  
• Some features like touchback and HD quality are not available on the AirSync sender versions for Android and iOS. If you need these features, consider sharing your screen via the AirSync Sender app on Windows or macOS.
  
  
• The AirSync sender versions for Android and iOS can launch in portrait mode only. Once sharing has started, the sender app will follow whatever orientation you switch to.
