How to Enable and Use Screen Sharing in Rise Vision

Screen sharing lets you temporarily interrupt your display’s default content and share your computer, tablet, or mobile device screen directly to a Rise Vision Display. This is useful for live presentations, demos, or interactive sessions.

Enable and Configure Screen Sharing on Displays

1. Go to the Displays tab in your Rise Vision account and select the display you want to configure.
2. Open the Screen Sharing tab in the display settings on the right.
3. Select Enable Screen Share 
4. Configure Permissions according to your organizations needs

Show Session Code on Screen: a six digit code that must be entered to start a screen sharing session. The session code and join URL will be shown in the lower right corner of the display. 

Refer to How to Customize the Screen Sharing Session Code to learn how to customize the placement and  style of the Session Code. 

Session Codes refresh every 24 hours

Require Pin Confirmation: when enabled, users will be required to enter the PIN you define in order to screen share on the display. 

Require Authentication: when enabled, users will be required to sign into their Rise Vision account in order to screen share to the display

5. Select Save to apply the changes to your display.

4. Then click Share to begin.

Use Moderator Mode

Moderator Mode gives you more control over who can share to a display. As a moderator, you can invite or remove participants and also share your own screen. This is advantageous when your audience might not always use the screen sharing feature responsibly.

1. Make sure the user who wants to be a moderator has the the correct Screen Share moderator privilege in their user role. Check this by going in Settings, Company Users, and then selecting the User.

1. When Screen Sharing is already enabled on a display, you can automatically switch the unit to a moderated mode by going to the Screen Share explore tab in your account and choose the display.

2. The selected display will stop showing any content. If Allows others to join is toggled on, the display shows a 6-character screen share, and invites users to enter the participation queue to share their screens by going to risevision.com/join to enter that code.

   

3. The moderator will be able to select Invite to allow a participant to share their screen. The moderator can also choose to share their own screen by selecting Share.
4. Select End Session for all to end the moderated mode, allowing the display to return to showing digital signage content.
