Beam screen content

You can beam a web page, a video, or other content from your screen to another device by bringing the devices together (typically back to back).

Before you begin: Make sure both devices are unlocked, support Near Field Communication (NFC), and have both NFC and Android BeamTM turned on.

Follow these steps:

1Open a screen that contains something you'd like to share, such as a Browser page, YouTube video, or place page in Maps.

2Move the back of your phone toward the back of the other device.

3When the devices connect, you hear a sound, the image on your screen reduces in size, and you see the message Touch to beam.

4Touch your screen anywhere.

Your friend's device displays the transferred content. Or, if the necessary app isn't installed, Android MarketTM opens to a screen where your friend can download the app.
