Participants can use the Companion app to send files to the host's myViewBoard canvas via the Throw feature. This feature is available to all users signed in with a Host, Participant, or Guest role.

Perform the following so the board is ready to receive the files sent by your audience. 

1. Sign in to the myViewBoard app.

3. Tap Throw on the new menu to open a new popup.
   • Note the QR code at the bottom.
   • Tap the QR code to view a larger version.

Note other methods to interact with the session:

• Hosts can also tap the session name at the upper left of the myViewBoard app to display the QR code for the active session.
• If the Companion app is not available, audience members can use the Host's myViewBoard portal online to Throw files via the URL displayed in the QR code window.

Share files via Throw

Once the board is ready, audience members can share files or photos from their mobile device directly to the myViewBoard session. To use the Throw feature, have audience members sign in to the Companion app and perform the following:

1. Tap the Throw icon.
2. Select Camera or Browse, and then take a picture or select a file.

View Throw history

Users can view their past Throw history and recall files that were previously sent. To view history and recall files, perform the following:

1. Tap your avatar in the top-left corner.
2. Tap Throw history.
3. Tap the Back arrow on the file you want to recall. 
   If the recall was successful, the thrown file will be “called back” and “removed” from the session of the target host.

Note the following behavior:

• The ability to successfully recall files depends on your network connection.
• This feature is only available for Host/IT Admin and Participant roles.
