Android
Beam
You can
instantly
send or beam
a
web page, video, or other content
from
your
screen
to another
device
by bringing the devices together
(typically back to back).
In
some apps, the Share
icon also
gives
you the option of
using
Android
Beam.
Before
you
begin:
Make sure both devices are
unlocked, support
Near Field Communication
(NFC),
and have both NFC and
Android
Beam turned on. To check, go to
Settings >
Wireless
& networks
>
More. Check the printed guide that comes with your device to
identify
the NFC area, or look up its hardware diagram.
1.
Open
a
screen that contains
something you’d like
to share, such
as
a
webpage,
YouTube
video, or
a place
page in
Maps.
2.
Move the back of your device toward the back of the other
device.
When the devices connect, you hear
a
sound, the image
on your
screen
reduces in size, and you see the
message Touch

beam.
3.
Touch your
screen
anywhere. The other device displays the
transferred
content. If the
necessary
app isn’t installed, Google
Play opens to
a screen
where the owner of the other

download the
app.
