Admin: Share the screen to the mobile app, PinToMind Go 🖥📲
With PinToMind Go you can easily share the content of your screen with staff, students or others in your organization. They will be able to see your content in a great app for mobile phones and tablets, or on their own PC.
PinToMind Go is included in all our price-plans.
The content is the same as on the screen, but with a customized design. In the mobile view one does not have to sit and wait for posts to "roll by" like on a public screen. Here one gets the posts served in a reader-friendly list which one can scroll through as one likes.
Download PinToMind Go for iOS/Android on your smart phone or tablet, in AppStore or in Google Play, depending on what type of hardware you are using.
The app is also available as Infoskjermen Go, PinToMind is called Infoskjermen in Norway.
Get started on PinToMind 3
This is how you share a channel to the mobile app in PinToMind 3:
- In a browser, log in to your PinToMind-account at app.pintomind.com.
- In the menu on the left, click on the channel you want to share to the mobile app, PinToMind Go.
- Click on the mobile icon up under the channel-name
- Open sharing code (like in Classic)
- Only for invited
- If you want to, you can continue using the same sharing code as you used in PinToMind Classic
You can take over the sharing code from a Classic screen that you own and have shared
Then the users will get this new channel up in their view with posts from the channel in PinToMind 3 instead of the old screen, without having to change the code. - You can decide whether to give access to the channel through browser.
If you want to make it possible for people to open the sharing link from Go in a browser, you have to enable this in the settings for Go on your Channel.
You now have two different options for how you can share this channel:
You can yourself set the code. Everyone with the code will be able to follow the channel.
Change the code to something that is easy to remember, write and share.
Invite individually by e-mail. This gives you control over who at any time has access to the content.
Get started on PinToMind Classic
- Download PinToMind Go for iOS/Android on your smart phone or tablet, in AppStore or in Google Play, depending on what type of hardware you are using.
The app is also available as Infoskjermen Go, PinToMind is called Infoskjermen in Norway. - Feel free to use the sharing-code "demo" to quickly see some possibilities.
- In a browser; log in on app.pintomind.com. Go to the menu-option "Screens". Put the mouse-arrow over the screen that you want to share in the mobile app. Click "Start sharing", and you get going within a few minutes.
The system creates a unique sharing code. If you want, you can change the screen sharing code. Enter a new code in the sharing code field, and click "CHANGE CODE". If the system does not accept the sharing code, this code is already in use.
NB! If you post information that you do not want others to have access to, you should choose a sharing code that is not easy to guess.
You can spread the sharing code (for Smart phone and tablet), or the sharing address (for display of the mobile app content in a browser) to those you want to see the content.
You can also create a Promo-post on your screen, to promote the sharing on your screen.
You can stop the sharing whenever you would like to. You do not commit to anything by testing this.
