Sharing a session

During a session, you can use the SMART kapp app to invite up to 250 people to view your notes on their mobile or desktop devices.

When others receive your invitation, they tap or click a link to view your session in their web browsers; they don’t need to install additional software or otherwise configure their devices. Alternatively, others can choose to install the SMART kapp app on their mobile devices and use it to connect to your session.

As you make changes to your notes, others see these changes in real time. They can also zoom in or out, and save, view and export snapshots.

Note 

  • The SMART kapp viewer supports the following browsers:

    Mobile devices

    Safari for iOS 8.1 or later operating system software

    Chrome™ for Android 39.0.2171.93 or later

    Computers

    Internet Explorer® 10 or later

    Chrome 39.0.2171.95 or later

    Safari 8.0 or later

  • You can share notes only as long as the SMART kapp app is running on your mobile device and your mobile device is connected to a board.

  • You can export saved snapshots of notes without connecting your mobile device to a board (see Sharing snapshots).

ClosedTo share your session

  1. Connect your mobile device to the board (see Connecting and starting a session).

Setting the sharing session link type

When you invite others to join your session, the app sends them a dynamic link by default. When you use a dynamic link, the app creates a new link each time you send an invite for others to join your session. However, the app also provides you with the option of sending a static link to join your session. A static link provides a permanent link to your sessions so that the link is the same each time you send an invite. With a static link, you can send the link before meetings start to help simplify meeting startup. If you want to use a static link instead of a dynamic link, then you can change your invitation link preferences from the app’s settings.

ClosedTo use a static link

  1. If you’re currently in a session, stop sharing the session (see Stop sharing a session).

  2. Tap Settings Settings icon.

  3. Select Sharing, and then select Static Link.

  4. Optionally, select Send Link, and then select a method to send the static link to others.
