   • Search for a specific display by name in the search bar.
   • Select the Tags tab to filter the list of displays (Enterprise Edition only).
4. If a list of displays did not appear on the Discovered Displays tab, go to the Enter Display URL tab to manually enter in the URL shown on the display’s Welcome Screen.
5. If prompted, enter in the screen key listed on the Solstice display.
6. The user app will join the collaboration session with full media posting and control rights.

Sharing Content from your PC:

On the Share tab of the Solstice app, you can share unlimited content using any of the following options.

• Desktop: Share a real-time view of your desktop (Windows or Mac) with an option to share your desktop audio to the display.
• App Window: Share a real-time view of a single application window open on your Windows or Mac laptop. After selecting this option, click on the application window in the list that displays to share it to Solstice.
• Media File: Share media files such as images and videos. Note: Solstice supports a broad range of video types, but not all video files are supported. If a video file is shared but does not post correctly to the display, you can open and play the video from your desktop, then share your desktop to the display with audio. Images need to have dimensions smaller than 10,240 pixels in order to be shared.

When sharing your Desktop, if your user app is set to hide when you are sharing your desktop, you can click on the bar that appears at the top of your desktop screen to unhide it. You can also click Stop Sharing to quickly stop sharing your desktop.

Sharing Content via an HDMI:

The Solstice Gen3 Pod allows users to connect a laptop PC directly into the Pod using an HDMI cable connected from their laptop to the HDMI-in port on the front of the Pod. This allows users to share a wired content source to the display. The wired desktop sharing will appear in the collaboration session like any other post, and will be able to be controlled by any user in the session that has the Solstice app.

Sharing Content from your phone:

On the Share tab of the Solstice mobile app, you can share unlimited content using any of the following options.

• Mirror Screen: Share a real-time view of your mobile device screen.
• Media File: Share media files such as images and videos from the device’s media library. Note: Solstice supports a broad range of video types, but not all video files are supported. If a video file is shared but does not post correctly to the display, you can open and play the video on your mobile device and mirror your screen to the display.
• Camera: Take a picture with your mobile device and share it to the display. Note: Ensure the Solstice app has permission to access your camera.
• Take Video: Take a video with your mobile device and share it to the display. Note: Ensure the Solstice app has permission to access your camera and microphone.
