Screenshare
Use for support, onboarding, back-office help, and guided product walkthroughs where readable UI matters most.
Quickstart
Run your first Beam session from host app to viewer.
Beam is built around a host-first workflow. The operator launches the Windows host app, starts hosting, shares a session code, and hands the viewer into a join path backed by Beam relay, signaling, and browser-viewer infrastructure.
Choose the right session mode
Operator flow
- Launch the Beam desktop app on Windows.
- Confirm the Beam relay host is configured in Settings.
- Copy the code shown under Your Address.
- Use Start hosting when you are ready to expose the current screen or app.
- Share the code directly or create a typed session through the Beam API and distribute the join token from your own product.
Viewer flow
- For native viewer flows, connect with the Beam room code or the join metadata returned by
/v1/join. - For browser flows, use the same join token and the WebRTC signaling metadata returned by the API.
- Use
stream_profile = gamingwhen motion matters more than static text clarity.
