Spectator or player
A guest arrives as a spectator, seeing and hearing your screen. If you choose, they become a player, and their controller shows up on your computer as one more controller.
With KyberNow Share, your guests see and hear your screen. If you choose, they can play with their own controllers or use the keyboard and mouse. They get in with a six-digit code, from a KyberNow Link app or a plain browser.
The code is shown by the person sharing.
Have KyberNow Link? Use “Join with a code” in the app.
Choose “Share” in the session bar of KyberNow Link, or “Share a screen…” in the KyberNow Station menu on the PC, next to the clock. A six-digit code appears, with a link and a QR code.
They type the code on this page or in the KyberNow Link app, or they open your link or scan the QR code. A guest coming from the internet waits for your approval.
Everyone arrives as a spectator. You can give them their controllers, the keyboard and mouse, or both, and take them back whenever you like.
A guest arrives as a spectator, seeing and hearing your screen. If you choose, they become a player, and their controller shows up on your computer as one more controller.
Controllers and keyboard with mouse are two separate rights. You give or take back either one at any time, guest by guest. A guest only ever has what you give them, and never your clipboard.
Each guest gets a picture suited to their screen and their connection. Yours always comes first: nothing a guest does changes your screen or your picture.
On the same network, the code is enough. Elsewhere, your guests go through the KyberNow relay, with the same code, the same link and the same QR code.
When a guest arrives from the internet, a request appears on your side and you accept or decline it. On your own network, there is nothing to accept. Four guests at most.
In a KyberNow Link app, choose “Join with a code”. Without an app, open the link or type the code on this page: there is nothing to install.
The same relay also opens your own computer from the hotel or the train, without a VPN. Your already paired devices find it when they are not on your network. The “Access away from home” setting is in Admin, and it stays off until you turn it on.
A friend uses your computer with a separate account, in the apps you choose, taking turns with you. This is not available yet.
In the KyberNow Link apps, the picture, the sound and what you type stay encrypted from end to end: the relay cannot see them. In a browser, it passes the connection on and keeps none of it. The details are on the Privacy page.
KyberNow Station, version 0.8.0 or later, on the computer you share. Your guests have nothing to install if they use a browser.
