Chapter 5: Using the Coalesce Mobile App
AirPlay sharing is accomplished through the device’s native AirPlay
®
feature, using a similar process as connecting to an Apple TV.
To share your AirPlay enabled device, first ensure the device is connected to the network you will use to connect to the Coalesce
wireless display. Then follow the steps below for your device’s iOS version:
iOS 6: Start by opening the Coalesce app on your device. Next double-tap your device’s home button. Then swipe to the right on
your dock (bottom). Select the name of the desired Coalesce display and enable sharing.
iOS 7, 8 & 9: Start by opening the Coalesce app on your device. Next, swipe upward from the bottom of your screen. Then tap
the AirPlay icon. Select the name of the desired Coalesce display and enable sharing.
If the desired display does not appear in the AirPlay menu of your device, connect to the display via the Coalesce App first. Then
the display should appear in the AirPlay menu to begin sharing.
NOTE: Coalesce supports one iOS share at a time.
In addition to following the steps above, your network must be configured to allow for iOS sharing. There are two setup options
that will enable sharing with AirPlay® on the network. For networks that allow UDP broadcast traffic and Apple’s Bonjour proto-
col, sharing will work automatically based on Coalesce’s default settings. For networks that do not allow UDP broadcast traffic
and/or Apple’s Bonjour protocol, the “Enable AirPlay Discovery Proxy” feature must be enabled in the Coalesce Configuration
Panel or remotely via the Coalesce Central.
Refer to the Coalesce Network Deployment Guide for more information.
Mac laptops with OS X 10.8 and higher can also be shared via AirPlay®. However, we recommend that OS X users share to the
display via the Coalesce client app’s “Share Desktop.”
5.2 Using Coalesce for Moderated Sessions
5.2.1 Coalesce Client App during Moderated Sessions
When the Access Control for a Coalesce session is set to Moderated, users are prompted to join the session as a Guest or as a
Host when they connect. Connecting to the session as a Host will require the Host password, designated in the Coalesce
Configuration Panel or remotely via the Coalesce Central, and will provide the user with the same full sharing and control rights as
non-moderated sessions. Additionally, any session Host will have the ability to approve or reject Guest requests to join the session
and to add items. These requests will appear as alerts next to the Meeple icon(s) along the bottom of the Coalesce display inter-
face and in the navigation menu of Host client apps. Joining the session and sharing items as a Guest requires approval from a
Host of the session. Guests do not have the ability to control layouts or edit/remove items.
