Step 7: Set Content Sharing Options
Meeting participants connected to a Solstice display with a laptop computer can share three basic kinds of content through the Mersive Solstice app: their whole desktop, a specific application window, or media files such as still images and videos. Screen mirroring for iOS mobile devices is available through the Solstice mobile app. Miracast and AirPlay support also provide the ability mirror the screens of Windows, macOS/iOS, and some Android devices without the Solstice app. For more information on how to configure Solstice to support sharing with AirPlay and Miracast, see Enable Sharing with AirPlay and Enable Sharing with Miracast.
Video conferencing with Solstice can also be enabled, allowing meeting hosts to share the shared Solstice display workspace as well as room audio and video resources with meeting participants connected via a video conference application (Zoom, Teams, etc.) on the meeting host's laptop.
These settings determine which sharing options users can use to share content to the Solstice display. For details about using this template to enable the screen key option for added security in Solstice collaboration sessions, see Step 4: Network and Base Security Settings.
In the left sidebar navigation panel of Solstice Cloud, click Manage > Templates > Features.
Click either the Default template or the template you created in Step 3: Set the Base Security Settings to enable the screen key.
Under the Solstice Feature Options section, enable or disable the various sharing options based on your organization's needs and policies.

Miracast WiFi Direct: Allows users to mirror their Windows device screen to the Solstice display without the Mersive Solstice app; streams P2P from the Windows device to the Pod.
Android mirroring: Allows allows screen mirroring from an Android mobile device .
Note
Some Android apps may block audio capture, preventing the streaming of their audio to Solstice.
iOS mirroring (AirPlay): Allows users to mirror their iOS and macOS device screens with or without the Mersive Solstice app.
AirPlay discovery proxy: Enable this option if your network does not allow use of Apple's Bonjour.
Bluetooth discovery for AirPlay: Provides another alternative for discovery for environments that do not allow UDP broadcast traffic or Apple's Bonjour protocol by allowing AirPlay users to discover the Pod using Bluetooth. Users must still connect to the same network as the Pod to stream content via AirPlay.
Clientless sharing via browser: Allows users to connect and share content via a web browser without the Mersive Solstice app.
