Real-time view
Watch the screen of a device you own or manage as it happens — the live, real-time companion to recorded screen history.
Logs and history tell you what happened; sometimes you need to see what is happening right now. Live Screen Streaming shows you a real-time view of the screen on a device you own or manage, streamed to your dashboard. It is the immediate, in-the-moment counterpart to the Screen Recorder, which captures history for later review.
Live viewing is most useful in the rare moment when a delay matters — when a child seems to be in a difficult exchange right now, or when you need to confirm what a managed device is being used for at this instant. Because it is real-time, it is also the feature we most encourage you to use sparingly and transparently; watching someone's screen live is intimate, and trust depends on it being used for genuine safety, not idle curiosity.
The honest use is narrow: a live look can help in a moment that feels urgent — apparent bullying, contact from a stranger, a situation a child can't or won't describe. Outside such moments, the recorded screen history usually gives you everything you need without the intensity of live watching. We suggest agreeing with older children that live viewing is reserved for genuine concerns.
Live viewing is the most intimate thing this app can do. Reserve it for the moments that genuinely warrant it, and be open about when and why you use it.
On company-owned devices, live viewing supports things like real-time troubleshooting and confirming appropriate use during work hours, where staff have been informed. Clear disclosure is essential — both for the law and for a workplace built on trust.
Because it is so direct, live streaming benefits most from transparency. Tell the people whose devices you manage that the capability exists, use it for real reasons, and lean on recorded history for routine awareness.
Setup takes about 5 minutes on a device you own or manage.
Common questions about the Live Screen Streaming feature.
It shows a real-time view of whatever is currently on the screen of a device you own or manage, streamed to your dashboard.
Streaming is live and in-the-moment; the Screen Recorder captures history you can review later. They complement each other.
No. It streams only when you choose to view, so it is on demand rather than continuous.
Yes. It reflects whatever is on screen, regardless of which app is open at the time.
That depends on configuration and local law. For children and company devices we strongly recommend transparency, given how direct live viewing is.
Streaming uses more data than ordinary logging, so it is best used in short bursts when you genuinely need a live view.
Live streaming capability depends on the platform; see the install guide for current support details.
Yes. The stream is encrypted in transit and only viewable in your private account.
You can pair live viewing with the screen recorder to keep a capture for later reference where lawful.
There may be a slight overhead while streaming, but it ends as soon as you stop viewing.
It is near real-time, with only a short delay depending on the connection.
It is lawful for your own minor children and company-owned devices with the user informed. Watching another adult's private device without consent is generally unlawful.
