Wi-Fi sharing

Watch your library on a phone or tablet on the same Wi-Fi.

Watch your library on a phone, tablet or another computer on the same Wi-Fi, in its browser, with no app to install.

  1. Click the globe button in the toolbar and choose Start Local Sharing.
  2. Scan the QR code with your phone, or use Copy Link.
  3. Pick a library and channel, then tap a video to watch it, with captions.
  • The link contains a random access token, so only people with the link can open it. Regenerate Token makes a new one, and Use Reusable Link keeps the same link between sessions.
  • An address that tries 20 wrong tokens is locked out.
  • The page shows the Mac's battery level, so you know when it needs charging.
  • Click Stop to turn sharing off.
