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.

Prerequisites

Set Up Screen Sharing

  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.

How Screen Sharing Works

When screen sharing is toggled on, the default permissions will be set to give the ability for the display to be used as quickly as possible. This is best used when all with access are responsible with its use. Changing the settings may limit who can use it.

  1. After selecting Enable Screen Share, several other options will be available.

  1. By default, Show Session Code on Screen will be toggled on causing a 6-digit code to appear on your display in the lower right corner. 

    1. On the device you want to share, go to risevision.com/join and enter the 6-digit code.
    2. Select the content to share, and don't forget to toggle on/off the audio sharing feature:
      • Chrome tab
      • Application window
      • Entire screen
    3. Click Share to begin.
    4. To stop, click Stop Sharing on your device. The display will return to its default schedule.
  2. If Require Pin Confirmation is enabled, a PIN code can be entered. A user that attempts to screen share to this display will also need to provide the PIN code to proceed.
  3. If Require Authentication is enabled, the user will have to sign into their Rise Vision account in order screen share. Only users of the Rise Vision account containing the display will be able to screen share.
  4. Refer to this article if you want to customize the size, styling, and position of the 6-digit code. If customizing the screen share code, it is best to disable Show Session Code on Screen.

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.

Behavior Notes

  • You can adjust video quality and audio volume during screen sharing. In Moderator Mode, only the moderator can change these options.
  • Screen sharing cannot run while a “replace” schedule or Emergency/CAP alert is overriding a display.
  • A stable internet connection ensures smooth performance, but network sharing is not required. Rise Vision supports VLANs, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet.
  • One person can only share to one screen at a time.
  • Audio is not shared from mobile devices.
  • Keep your Rise Vision software and browser up to date for the best compatibility.
  • Be mindful of sensitive information visible on your screen.
  • Screen sharing is not supported on Apple TV.
  • Screen sharing to a webOS device is supported on LG displays running webOS version 6.0 or higher.
