Anslation Remote
Sharing a phone screen from a browser.
Screen sharing in a browser is built for computers. Here is what phones can and cannot do today, and how to get help when the problem is on a phone.
In short
Can I share my phone screen from a browser?
Usually not. Chrome, Firefox and Samsung Internet on Android do not offer browser screen sharing, and browser support tables list Safari on iPhone and iPad as adding it only in its newest release. Anslation Remote is built for sharing from a desktop browser: a phone can join a session to chat, and a computer is what shows a screen.
What phone browsers can share.

|---|---|---|
| Chrome on Android | Not offered | Join to chat |
| Firefox on Android | Not offered | Join to chat |
| Samsung Internet | Not offered | Join to chat |
| Safari on iPhone and iPad | Only in the newest release | Join to chat |

Phone questions, answered.
Can I share my iPhone screen with support?
Not in Anslation Remote, which is built for sharing from a desktop browser. Browser support tables list Safari on iPhone as adding screen sharing only in its newest release. On an iPhone you can still join a session and chat.
Can I share my Android screen from Chrome?
No. Chrome on Android does not offer browser screen sharing, according to MDN’s compatibility data, so no web page can ask for it there. Use the chat, or a computer for the screen.
I joined on my phone by mistake. What now?
Choose Leave on the phone, then ask your support agent for a new code and type it on the computer. Each code works once, so the first one cannot be used again.
