Choose the device you’re using. Each one says how to get Nexivo, what to set up the first time, and how to do each thing.

Nexivo on a Mac

The Mac app can share this Mac, and see or control other computers.

  • Others can see it
  • Others can control it
  • It can see and control others

Get it

Download available

First time only

  • If macOS asks about your local network, allow it. Nexivo uses it to connect straight to the other computer.
  • Two permissions, only if others will see or control this Mac. On Home, under Allow this Mac to be controlled, click Grant next to Screen Recording and next to Input control. macOS asks only once. If nothing happens, click Open Settings and switch Nexivo on there. (System Settings calls input control Accessibility.)
  • Reopen Nexivo once. After Screen Recording, Nexivo says Quit & reopen Nexivo to finish. Click Quit Nexivo and open it again. Both rows then say Granted.
  • Keep Nexivo open. Requests only appear inside the Nexivo window, and closing the window quits Nexivo.

Good to know

  • You don’t need either permission to see or control someone else’s computer.
  • You don’t need an account to share this Mac, or to see or control another computer. Logging in is optional.

What you can do

Find your way around

  1. The left side has four pages: Home, Devices, Security and Settings.
  2. Top right says whether you’re connected: Online, Connecting… or Offline.
  3. Bottom left shows Log in, or your name once you’re logged in.
  4. The sun or moon button next to the status switches between light and dark.

Can’t see the left side? Make the window wider.

Share your Computer ID

  • No account needed
  1. Open Nexivo. You start on Home.
  2. The top card, This Mac, shows Your Computer ID: nine digits, like 123 456 789.
  3. Click the copy button next to it. It says Copied.
  4. Send the number, or read it out, to the person who will connect to you.

See --- --- ---? Wait a moment for Nexivo to go online. The same number is also in Settings, under About.

Give someone access with a link

  • No account needed
  1. On Home, find Give access.
  2. Choose View only (they can watch) or View and control (they can use your mouse and keyboard).
  3. Click Create link, then Copy. Send the link in any message app.
  4. The link works once and lasts 30 minutes. Expires in 29:59 counts down.
  5. They open it, and log in or skip. You then see Connection request. Check who it is and click Accept.

Changed your mind? Revoke cancels the link straight away. When a link ends, pick a mode and click Create new link.

Answer when someone asks to connect

  1. A box called Connection request pops up in Nexivo.
  2. Check who is asking: their Computer ID, and their email with Verified email under it.
  3. If they typed your Computer ID, choose View only or View and control. A request from your Give access link already has the mode you picked.
  4. Click Accept to let them in, or Reject to say no.
  5. You have 60 seconds. After that the request goes away by itself.

Accept greyed out? This Mac still needs its two permissions. See First time only.

While someone is on your Mac

  1. Nexivo shows Live with a timer, who is connected, and View only or View and control.
  2. To take control away but let them keep watching, click Switch to view only. You can’t switch back in the same session.
  3. To end it at once, click Stop sharing.
  4. Sessions end by themselves after 8 hours. A warning shows 5 minutes before.

If their connection drops and they’re back within 2 minutes, Nexivo lets them back in by itself and says they reconnected.

See or control another computer

  1. On Home, find Connect to another device.
  2. Type their nine-digit number in the Computer ID box.
  3. Click Connect, or press Return.
  4. You see Waiting for a response. They have 60 seconds to click Accept.
  5. Their screen fills your Nexivo window.

Connecting to an iPhone? The person with the iPhone also taps Start Broadcast.

See an iPhone or a computer with a link

  • View only
  1. On Home, find Invite a device and click Create link.
  2. Click Copy link and send it. It lasts 10 minutes and works once.
  3. On an iPhone the link opens Nexivo. They tap Share screen, then Start Broadcast. On a computer, they can show you their screen from their browser. A Windows PC is also offered a download, but you still only get view only.
  4. Their screen appears in your window, marked View only.

This link always gives you view only. An Android phone can’t answer it. To see or control an Android phone or a computer, connect with its Computer ID. Cancel a link with Cancel.

While you’re seeing or controlling

  1. Their screen fills the window. The bar at the top shows their Computer ID and Disconnect.
  2. With View and control, just move, click, scroll and type. If typing stops working, click their screen once.
  3. With View only, you can watch but not click or type.
  4. Click Disconnect to finish.

The app has no full-screen button (the website does). ⌘-Tab stays on your own Mac. Click Disconnect before you go to Settings.

If the picture freezes

  1. Click Disconnect, then go to Settings.
  2. Under Network, turn on Force relay. It sends the picture a different way, which helps when video freezes or the two devices can’t connect. It uses more data.
  3. Connect again.

Nothing to install when someone helps you

First time only

  6. Your helper can now see and use this PC. To end, click Stop sharing or close the window. Nothing is left behind.

Your helper can use your mouse and keyboard only if they made the link on the Nexivo website (Get a link to send). If they made it in the Nexivo app (Invite a device), they can only watch. The link lasts 10 minutes and works once. If the file says This invite link can no longer be used, ask for a new link, or read out the Computer ID it shows.

  2. The top card, This PC, shows Your Computer ID: nine digits.

  1. Connection request pops up in Nexivo, with the caller’s Computer ID and their email marked Verified email.

  3. Click Accept or Reject within 60 seconds.

While someone is on your PC

  1. The Sharing this PC card shows Live, who is connected, and what they can do. It stays on top of other windows. You can minimise it.
  2. Switch to view only takes control away at once. You can’t switch back in the same session.
  3. Stop sharing ends it at once.
  4. Sessions end by themselves after 8 hours, with a warning 5 minutes before.

See or control another computer (Windows app)

  4. Their screen fills the window. With View and control, move, click, scroll and type.
  5. Click Disconnect to finish.

  • Sees and controls others

Get it

Nexivo on an Android phone

The Android app shows your screen to a computer, and can let that computer tap, swipe and type on the phone.

  • Others can see it
  • Others can control it, once you allow it
  • Sees others in the browser

Get it

No Play Store download yet

  • If you were given the Nexivo Android file, Nexivo-Android.apk, copy it to your phone and tap it to install.
  • Android may say it can’t install apps from this source. Tap Settings, allow it for the app you opened the file with, then go back and tap Install.
  • The Nexivo website doesn’t offer an Android download yet.
  • To see or control a computer from your phone, use your phone’s browser.

First time only

  • Turn on control, if you want it. Without it, a computer can only watch. See Let a computer control your phone.
  • Notifications (Android 13 and later). After your first share, Nexivo asks to show notifications. Either answer is fine. Saying no only hides the “Nexivo is sharing this screen” notice.
  • Keep Nexivo open when you expect someone to connect.

Every time you share

  • Android asks before it records the screen. Tap its start button (often Start now). That’s Android asking, not Nexivo.

  1. Open Nexivo. The This Android phone card shows Your Computer ID.
  2. Tap Copy ID. Send it to the person who will use your phone.

  2. Find Nexivo remote control in the list and turn it on. It may be under a heading for downloaded apps.
  3. Confirm the message Android shows.
  4. Go back to Nexivo. The card now says Full control.

Switch greyed out? Open Nexivo’s app info in Android Settings, choose Allow restricted settings from its menu, and try again. After you reinstall or update Nexivo, check the switch is still on.

Questions

Common questions

Short answers to what people ask most. Stuck on a message? See Something’s not working?

Does the other person need Nexivo?

It depends on what they’re doing. To watch, a browser is enough. To share a computer’s screen, a browser is enough too, but then it can only be watched. To be controlled, a computer needs the Nexivo app, or on Windows the one file from a link. A phone needs the Nexivo app to share its screen.

Do I need an account?

No. Logging in is optional: with an account, the computer you connect to sees your verified email. Sharing your own screen never needs one. More about accounts.

Can I control an iPhone?

No. An iPhone can be watched, but nobody can tap or type on it from somewhere else.

Can I control an Android phone?

Yes, once the phone’s owner turns control on. It needs Android 8 or later, and doesn’t work when Advanced Protection is on. See how.

Can I use my phone to see a computer?

Yes. In the Nexivo app on your iPhone or Android phone, use See another device. The phone’s browser at nexivo-link.pages.dev works too. Logging in is optional on both.

Which browsers work?

To watch or control: a current Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, on a computer or a phone.

To share your screen, on a computer: Chrome, Edge or Firefox on Windows; Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox on a Mac; Chrome or Firefox on Linux. No phone browser can share its screen.

Is there sound?

No. You see the other screen, but you don’t hear it.

Can I share and watch at the same time?

No. A device runs one session at a time, in one direction: it either shares or watches.

Is there a full-screen mode?

On the website, yes: click Full screen. The Mac and Windows apps don’t have one.

Does it work on Linux?

In the browser, yes. You can watch, and you can share your screen from Chrome or Firefox so others can watch. There’s no Nexivo app for Linux, so a Linux computer can’t be controlled.

Where do I get the apps?

Get the Mac and Windows apps from the download page, and the iPhone app from the App Store. The Android app has no public download yet. You can use everything a browser can do today at nexivo-link.pages.dev, and on Windows a helper’s link gives you a one-file program.

Ready when you are

Open Nexivo in your browser. Send one link, or share your screen.

Nothing is shared until you say yes.
