Notes on Beam, working across several Macs, and what we are building.
-
Can another Mac open the Lock Screen?
Prepare and test trusted Mac-to-Mac access before leaving, with clear checks for the Lock Screen, sleep, restart, FileVault, and privacy.
-
Which Mac apps share one window?
FaceTime, Zoom, Teams, Meet, Slack, Webex and Discord share one Mac window. See when a cropped region or a beamed window fits better.
-
Bring one Mac window onto another Mac
Beam puts one Mac app window on another Mac at its own size, with direct input, crisp text, optional audio, and its own Dock icon.
-
Give another Mac’s app your whole ultrawide
Let an app from another Mac fill the space your work needs. Beam resizes the real source window and streams it crisply onto your ultrawide.
