BeamRoom vs Quick Timeout

BeamRoom lets you share your iPhone screen to another iPhone nearby — great for helping someone, quick demos, and “watch along” moments in the same room. LOCAL-ONLY SCREEN SHARING • Designed for nearby use on the same Wi-Fi network, a personal hotspot, or peer-to-peer. • No BeamRoom-run servers. No accounts. No ads or third-party analytics. CLEAN VIEWER EXPERIENCE • The viewer gets a full-screen live picture with minimal UI, so it feels like a proper second screen. HOW IT WORKS 1) On the Host iPhone: open BeamRoom → Share → Start sharing → start a Screen Broadcast (“BeamRoom”). 2) On the Viewer iPhone: open BeamRoom → Watch → start nearby pairing → select the Host. GOOD TO KNOW • BeamRoom is for nearby screen sharing (not a remote desktop service over the internet). • Screen capture uses Apple ReplayKit; protected/DRM video may appear blank by design. • Current version streams video only (no audio). Requires iOS 26.

Keep your screen available when it would otherwise turn off too soon. Choose 10, 30, or 45 minutes, or set a custom duration from 1 minute to 8 hours. Quick Timeout shows a slim Picture in Picture status while the screen-awake session is active. Tuck PiP against either screen edge while using another app. • Start with one tap • Custom duration from 1 minute to 8 hours • End automatically at the selected time • Designed for iPhone and iPad Quick Timeout does not change the system Auto-Lock setting. Closing PiP or starting media in another app may end the session. Ads appear only on the main app screen.
