Admin: Share the channel to the mobile app, PinToMind Go
ℹ️ 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.
The content is the same as on the info screen, but with an adapted design. On the mobile, you don't want to sit and wait for posts to "roll by" like on a screen. Here the posts are displayed in a reader-friendly list that you can scroll through in your own pace.
- PinToMind Go is included in all our subscriptions.
- PinToMind Go is free to download for mobile and tablet from AppStore and GooglePlay.

Get started with PinToMind Go
Users with the Account Owner and Admin roles can share a channel to the mobile app:
- In a browser; log in to your PinToMind-account in https://app.pintomind.com.
In the left menu, click in the channel you want to share to the mobile app, PinToMind Go.
ℹ️ The channel could be a Portrait or Landscape channel that displays on screen and can be shared to mobile app, or a PinToMind Go channel, that can be displayed in the mobile app only.
- Click on the mobile icon "📱" and "START SHARING".
You now have two different options for how you can share this channel:
Open sharing code - Anyone with the code will be able to follow the channel. Use the code that the system creates, or change the code to what you want*. E.g. something easy to remember, write and share.
👉 Choose or enter your own code and press "CREATE CODE"
Only for invited - Invite individually via e-mail to private channel. 🔒 This gives control over who has access to the content at any time.
👉 Press "SHARE WITH INVITATIONS" to start private sharing. Enter email addresses and invite. You can enter several addresses at the same time if you separate them with a comma.
*Have you used PinToMind Go before, in PinToMind Classic?
If you want, you can continue to use the same sharing code that you used in PinToMind Classic. Then the users will get this new channel with posts from the channel in PinToMind 3 instead of the old screen, without them having to change the code in their mobile devices. 👌
Do this: First select "Create code" with a random open sharing code, then you will be given the option to transfer sharing codes that are already in use in Classic.
Once you have selected the wanted code from Classic, you can delete the random sharing code.
- If you have chosen an open sharing code, you can decide whether you want to grant access to the channel via browser. If you want people to be able to open the share link from Go in a browser, you need to tick this box under Go settings on your channel.
- Optional: Several sharing codes for the same channel. You can create several sharing codes for a channel. When entered in the mobile app, they will all display content from the channel. It can be useful, for example, if you want to create a new code, but not lose those who subscribe to the old code, or if you want to use different codes for different target groups but point to the same channel.
Inform your audience that they can download PinToMind Go to their mobile devices and follow the channel.
- If you invite by e-mail, the recipient automatically receives instructions in the e-mail.
- If you share the channel with an open sharing code, you can promote this with a special post on your public screen, "PinToMind Go - Promo", that you can find in the list of posts. Or you can inform or send out the sharing code to your audience in another way.
The Promo post includes a QR code option, making it incredibly easy for your audience to find and follow your Go channel. This feature can be turned on or off in the post. In addition, displaying the Go Promo QR code in the corner of the Clock post offers another excellent visibility option.
