| Tip! When connecting to a View device via a wireless LAN router or wireless LAN access point, the PC and View device must be connected to the same network, such as by connecting the PC and View device to the same wireless LAN router. Note that it does not matter if the PC or View device is connected to a wired LAN as long as they are on the same network. |
1. Connect your Host PC and View device to the same network and launch Host application. (e.g., connect your PC and smartphone to the same wireless LAN router)
2. Launch the View app on the View device, and the View device will appear in the Host app list.

For details, please refer to the manual of your wireless LAN router. - If you read the QR code displayed in the Host app from an iOS View device connected to a different local network, a "Pairing failed" error message will appear. After that, please check the Q&A in this manual from the error message, and if you read the QR code again without changing the network settings, the error message will not appear and the connection will not start. If this happens, please tap the "<" in the upper left corner of the screen or swipe the screen to the right to return to the "Waiting for connection" screen. |
How to start using (Wi-Fi Direct connection)
In environments where the Host PC and View device are not connected to the same network, such as cafes outside the home, schools, hotels, etc., a connection can be made using Wi-Fi Direct, a technology that allows direct Wi-Fi connections between devices. This section explains the procedure for connecting using Wi-Fi Direct.
| Tip! If your View device does not support Wi-Fi Direct, or if you have not enabled Wi-Fi Direct settings, you will not be able to connect via Wi-Fi Direct, Please check your device's manual or refer to the Q&A. |

| attention (heed) - When entering the PIN code for Wi-Fi Direct connection, you can cancel the Wi-Fi Direct connection by clicking the "Cancel" button on the Host application. In this case, be sure to click the "Cancel" button to close the PIN code dialog displayed on the View device, as it will not close automatically. - If you try to make a local network connection from the Host application to the View device while the PIN code dialog is displayed on the View device, the connection cannot be made successfully. Before connecting, check the status of the View device, and be sure to close the PIN code dialog if it is displayed. |
How to start using the service (Mobile Hotspot connection - read the QR code to connect)
In environments where neither local network connection nor Wi-Fi Direct is available, a mobile hotspot connection can be used to connect devices by using a PC as a simple Wi-Fi router. There are two ways to connect to a Mobile Hotspot connection (by reading a QR code or manually setting up a connection).
| attention (heed) Connections using the mobile hotspot function may result in slower communication speeds and slightly slower screen rendering than connections using a wireless LAN access point. If the Host PC and View device can communicate via a wireless LAN access point, it is recommended to use a connection method that does not use the Mobile Hotspot feature. |
1. Start the Host application and click the "Cannot find the device you want to connect" button.
When the "Change Connection Method" dialog box appears, click the "Connect with Mobile Hotspot" button.
3. the "Connect with Mobile Hotspot" screen will appear, showing two connection options (read the QR code to connect or set up the connection manually).
4. If you are connecting with a smartphone or tablet that has a camera function, you can make a mobile hotspot connection by reading the QR code. Start the standard camera app on your phone or tablet and read the "Method 1" QR code displayed in the Host app, and the Wi-Fi connection will be made automatically first.
| attention (heed) - When using a QR code to connect to the mobile hotspot, be sure to read the code with the standard camera app on your phone or tablet; the connection cannot be made by reading the QR code with the View app. - If you cannot read the QR code with the standard camera app on your phone or tablet, try connecting using the "How to set up the connection manually" in the next section. |
When the Wi-Fi connection is complete, click the "You are connected to a mobile hotspot" button.
6. launch the View app and click the "Yes, I have confirmed" button displayed in the Host app with the View app displayed at the top of the screen.
When the "Select Mobile Hotspot Destination" screen appears, confirm that the icon for the View device is displayed and click on the icon to start the external display display.
How to start using (Mobile Hotspot connection - how to set up the connection manually)
Continuing from the previous section, this section explains the procedure for "manually setting up a connection" for a mobile hotspot connection.
| attention (heed) Connections using the mobile hotspot function may result in slower communication speeds and slightly slower screen rendering than connections using a wireless LAN access point. If the Host PC and View device can communicate via a wireless LAN access point, it is recommended to use a connection method that does not use the Mobile Hotspot feature. |
1. Start the Host application and click the "Cannot find the device you want to connect" button.
When the "Change Connection Method" dialog box appears, click the "Connect with Mobile Hotspot" button.
3. the "Connect with Mobile Hotspot" screen will appear, showing two connection options (read the QR code to connect or set up the connection manually).
If you are connecting with a device that does not have a camera function, you can make a mobile hotspot connection by making a manual Wi-Fi connection: open "Wi-Fi Connection Settings" in the OS settings of the View device and select the Wi-Fi network with the name listed under "SSID:" in "Method 2" displayed in the Host app. Select the Wi-Fi network with the name listed in "SSID:" in "Method 2" displayed in the Host app.

precautions
- This application works by sending compressed screen data over a network and displaying it after decompressing it on the receiving side. Due to the time required for this processing, there will be a delay in the display and a reduction in the number of frames displayed compared to the display on an external display that processes at high speed, such as an HDMI connection.
- When the Host PC or an external device uses wireless LAN to connect to the Host PC, if the Host PC is used in an area where there are many wireless LAN devices or where there is radio congestion or interference, such as near a microwave oven, the surrounding radio waves may cause delays or inoperability, or screen display delays or distortion. The following is a list of the most common causes of radio frequency interference.
- If you create another user account on a PC that is connected to a View device with Screen Share and switch to another user account without signing out, the Screen Share connection in use will be maintained, but the Screen Share application will not be able to operate.
- If you create another user account on the PC where you are using Screen Share (View) and switch to another user account without signing out, the connection to Screen Share in use will be maintained, but the display as an external display will not be performed. Signing in again to the original user will resume the display as an external display.
- If the Host PC goes into an inactive screen off state or lock screen for a certain period of time, the screen of the View device will be a solid black screen during that time.
- Depending on the connection environment between the Host PC and the View device, a wireless LAN error message may appear when disconnecting Screen Share, but this is only when the application cannot detect Screen Share disconnection and is not abnormal behavior This is not abnormal behavior.

- When the View app for iOS is launched for the first time, even if the local network connection permission is not allowed, your device may be able to use Screen Share to display the screen as an external display. In addition, even if you perform touch operation on this View device, you will not be able to perform touch operation and the View app will display the message "Local network connection permission is not allowed, please allow it. In such a case, please go to the iOS settings, open "Apps" - "Screen Share (View)" and turn on the "Local Network" setting.
- If you did not allow local network connection privileges when you first launched the View app for iOS, and then installed the View app again and allowed local network connection privileges, the Host app may not appear in the list of devices to which the Host app is connected.
