Connecting and starting a session

Start a session by connecting your mobile device to the SMART kapp board. You can do this by one of the following means:

Note 

To get the best experience while using the SMART kapp app and to access all the latest features, make sure you have the latest version of the app on your mobile device. Some features listed in this guide may not be available with older versions of the app.

Connecting by QR code

A QR code is a type of bar code. If your mobile device has a rear-facing camera and a QR code scanning app, you can scan QR codes like the one on the board. Your mobile device then executes the QR codes’ commands. Typically, QR codes’ commands display messages or open web pages.

    Tip 

    If the app doesn’t connect your mobile device to the board, move your mobile device closer to or farther away from the board so that the app can capture the QR code.
