Common Questions

Can anyone see my shared screen outside the room?

No. You do not need to worry about your screen being live-streamed to users outside the room.

Can I share audio?

Yes. However, there may be a slight delay of approximately one second.

If you mute the audio on the device you are presenting from, the shared audio will also be muted.

Videos can be shared through Airtame, but sharing videos through the application is not recommended.
