Sharing Without Limits, Connecting Without Interruptions

Session Control Comes to iPad

Wherever you stand, your lesson stays in your hands.

You no longer need to be tied to the front of the room to manage what’s happening on screen. With our newest update, moderators can now control the entire session directly from an iPad.

• Start, stop, and manage sharing with a simple tap.

  
  

• Highlight individual contributions by switching users to full-screen or minimizing others.

  
  

• Stay in control of the main display, even from the back of the room.

This update empowers educators to move freely around the space, engage with students, and adapt to the moment without breaking the flow of teaching. And for IT teams, it’s one less point of friction for your peers. The control is intuitive, reliable, and works confidently with your existing iPad setup.

Why does this matter? Session control moving to iPad offers true freedom for educators, more flexibility in how you teach and more engagement with learners. All without touching the main display.

Stronger, Smarter Connections

Tech hiccups shouldn’t hijack your sessions. That’s why Screen Sharing now uses the local network when available, improving connection speed and reducing interruptions. And if the connection drops? DisplayNote sharing doesn’t just give up, it works to recover.

Here’s what’s happening behind the scenes:

• If a participant’s device briefly loses connection, Screen Sharing tries to reconnect instantly, attempting reconnection for 30 seconds before a new course of action is needed.

  
  

• If media streaming is interrupted, it makes up to three reconnection attempts, getting smoother over time.

  
  

• If the main display drops off the network, it tries up to five times to rejoin, keeping participants connected as long as possible. Only if those attempts fail will a new session be created.

This means you’ll experience fewer unexpected dropouts, with sessions that keep going, even if the Wi-fi doesn’t. Creating a consistent experience for everyone, every time.

Fine Tuning your experience

We’ve put the work in behind the scenes to improve how AirPlay connections occur, ensuring connectivity and discoverability remains at its highest standard. So you can simply connect, cast and work with confidence in the tech you’re using.

If available on the device, your main display will now use the native file browser when required. Meaning you can interact with the tools your need and we won’t get in the way.

Because a great session isn’t just about what’s on the screen. It’s about how confidently you can lead it, and how well the tech stays out of your way.
