Sharing Content with a Solstice Display

Using the Solstice App

When sharing your desktop, the Mersive Solstice app window will be hidden by default. Click Sharing Desktop at the top of your screen to show it again. You can also click Stop Sharing to quickly stop sharing your desktop.

Some Mobile apps may block audio capture, preventing the Solstice app from streaming their audio.

To share media files, pictures, and videos, be sure to grant permissions for the Mersive Solstice app to access your mobile device's media files, camera, and microphone.

When you are ready to finish your collaboration session, disconnect from Solstice.

Solstice App on a Laptop

In the Share tab of the Mersive Solstice desktop app, you can wirelessly share an unlimited amount of content to the Solstice display using any of the following options:

  • Desktop: Share a real-time view of your desktop mirrored to the display. The entire desktop, including any open application windows, will be shared with the display.
  • App Window: Share a real-time view of only the selected application window to the display. This sharing option allows you to maintain privacy by only sharing a single application instead of everything on your desktop.
  • Media File: Share media files such as images and videos saved locally on your laptop device to the display. Solstice supports image and video files up to 4K resolution.

Note: To stop sharing audio with a Desktop or App Window share, click the speaker icon after the connected display name to appear with a red slash (off). If you are sharing desktop audio on a Mac, you may need to take additional setup steps to enable it. See Enable Audio for Desktop Sharing on macOS for more information.

When sharing your desktop, the Mersive Solstice app window will be hidden by default. Click Sharing Desktop at the top of your screen to show it again. You can also click Stop Sharing to quickly stop sharing your desktop.

If the text options described above (e.g., Share, Settings) don't appear in the left navbar of the Mersive Solstice laptop app, icon-only navigation may be enabled. Click the Solstice logo in the upper left of the app window to turn navigation text back on.
