The view from a seat in the FreeWorlds Cinema: a member's shared screen on the giant screen.

Update

A shared screen waits for you on another tab

Switch to another tab while watching a shared screen and it waits 5 minutes for you, then starts again by itself when you come back.

What's new

A quick look at another tab no longer cuts the picture. A shared screen you are watching now waits 5 minutes for you when World is on a tab you are not looking at.

Gone longer, it lets go so nobody streams a picture no one is watching, and it starts again by itself the moment you are back on World.

Step by step

How it works

  1. Watch a shareWatch somebody's shared screen on a TV, in the WATCH panel or at the Cinema.
  2. Switch tabsLook at another tab or put the window away. The share keeps playing for 5 minutes.
  3. Come backBack on World, the share plays again on its own. There is nothing to press.

Good to know

  • YouTube and SoundCloud on a TV keep playing on another tab as they always have.
