Chapter 5: Using the Coalesce Mobile App
5. Using the Coalesce Mobile App
The Coalesce client software app for iOS and Android devices has a slightly different user interface than the app for Windows and
Mac OS X clients.
The apps for iOS and Android look and function very similarly to the Windows and Mac OS X client apps with a few exceptions.
The most significant difference is the sharing options from mobile devices vs Windows and OS X clients. The Coalesce app on
mobile devices features a Share Screen option in place of the Share Desktop and the Share Window sharing options available on
Windows and OSX.
Figure 5-1. Sharing Options for Mobile Devices (Android client app pictured).
The Android mobile device app sharing options include:
Share—access and share media from the device’s Share Media.
Share Camera—access the device’s native Share Camera and take a photo to share to the display.
Take Share Video—access the device’s native Share Camera and take a Share Video to share to the display.
Share Screen—mirror an Android device screen on the display as a media item. This feature is supported for devices running iOS
6 or newer and Android version 5.0 Lollipop and newer. Users running older versions of Android will see a “Webview” option
instead of “Share Screen.”
Webview (not pictured)—browse the web to access the web content you want to share on the display, including cloud applica-
tions present on the Webview homepage: Dropbox, OneDrive, SugarSync, Google Search, Google Drive, Facebook, Flickr,
Instagram and Box. Users with Android version 5.0 Lollipop or newer can share web content and more by mirroring their device
screen. Therefore, the “Share Webview” option is replaced with a “Share Screen” option for these users.
The iOS mobile device client app sharing options include:
Share File—access and share media from the device’s Share Media.
Share Camera—access the device’s native Share Camera app and take a photo to share.
