shareBySquareTV
Open shareBySquare TV on the television, pair your phone by QR code or link, choose a video and use the phone as a remote control.
The TV displays the picture. The phone selects the file and controls playback.
Open shareBySquare TV in a modern television or computer browser and create a temporary TV session.
Use encrypted Private Direct for a natively supported video, or Compatible Play when the file needs server conversion.
Scan the QR code, open the displayed link or enter the one-time pairing code on the phone.
Choose a permitted video file. When it is ready, play, pause, seek and adjust the TV from the mobile controller.
Choose the mode before pairing. The difference matters when a television cannot play the original video.
The phone encrypts the original file and the TV decrypts it for playback. The server transfers ciphertext and does not convert the video.
With explicit consent, the server temporarily analyzes and converts the unencrypted file to a TV-friendly video.
A file extension is only a container. Actual playback also depends on the video codec, audio codec and capabilities of the TV browser.
Private Direct accepts MP4, M4V, MOV and WebM when the television supports their codecs, commonly H.264, HEVC or AV1 with AAC, Opus or Vorbis.
The server can verify MP4/MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI/DivX, WMV/ASF, MPEG/MPG/VOB, TS/MTS/M2TS, 3GP, FLV/F4V, OGV/OGG, RM/RMVB, DV, MXF and selected raw video streams.
Compatible Play prepares H.264 video with AAC audio in MP4, plus optional adaptive HLS. Availability depends on the FFmpeg tools and limits configured on the server.
Commands are sent to the paired TV and the controller waits for the television to confirm the new playback state.

Full screenPairing grants access to one media session, not to other files or the rest of a shareBySquare account.
The QR, link and code connect the controller to a temporary session. Do not share them outside the intended room.
Private Direct transfers encrypted media. Compatible Play requires a separate explicit consent because the server must process an unencrypted copy.
End the session when finished. Temporary media is scheduled for deletion when the session closes or expires, according to service limits.
No television app or account is required, but both devices need a supported browser and access to the service.
No. Both devices only need access to shareBySquare. The temporary pairing link connects them to the same session.
No. The TV player and mobile controller run in a browser.
Try Compatible Play if server conversion is available. It prepares a more widely supported MP4 and may also provide adaptive HLS.
The media is temporary and is scheduled for deletion after the session closes or expires. Exact limits follow the current service rules.
