Figure 1: How crowdbeamer works
The crowdbeamer device generates a private WiFi network. Through this network, whatever video
signal (for instance from a PC or tablet) is provided to the HDMI or VGA input of crowdbeamer, is
transmitted to the audience's devices (laptops, tablets or smart phones).
In addition, crowdbeamer can also be connected to a projector or an external screen for those
members of the audience who are not able to connect to the private WiFi.
Presenter
The presenter needs to connect his or her computer to crowdbeamer using either an HDMI or VGA
cable. Other video sources with a HDMI (non-HDCP content) or VGA are also supported.

(page 17).
Once this is done, whatever is shown on the presenter's screen will be transmitted to the personal
devices of members of the audience and to the screen. It is however possible to hide the contents of
the screen temporarily. For more details see
Using crowdbeamer for a presentation
(page 23).
Note:
crowdbeamer only shares the screen of the presenter's computer and does not
represent a security issue for any of the attached video sources, as these are only connected
through either an HDMI or VGA cable.
Audience
Members of the audience need to install the crowdbeamer app onto their device (laptop, tablet or
smartphone). Once this is done, they can connect to the private WiFi network and see the screen of
the presenter's computer.
Note:
The audience sees just what is on the screen. The presentation is not downloaded onto
their devices.
