It shares streaming policies with the Mac version and uses Apple ReplayKit for user-authorized capture on iPhone and iPad. No Mac host or separate browser is required. Share photos, videos you have recorded, presentations and documents on a bigger screen. Choose the mode that works for you The itssle engine is selected by default.
