Once the QDraw 3 software is on your machine and the DisplayNote app installed on your devices you are ready to begin.

Start by making sure that all devices, both wired and wireless, are connected to the same network.

Launch QDraw 3 on your computer and DisplayNote app on any mobile device you want to connect to it.

Stay Logged In

To start a session when there is no internet connection, you should have previously checked* the ‘stay logged in’ button.

This will count towards the total number of sessions available. After 14 days you will have to login to the software again to continue using offline. This is to enable us to check licenses are up to date and not being abused.

You can choose to present using new content or use an existing DisplayNote lesson file.

Live Stream & Slide Share

Live Stream – In Live Stream, participants will receive a continuous stream of the Presenter’s

computer screen, including any annotations or changes the presenter makes.

A personal slide is created when the user annotates or makes changes to the Presenter content they have received.

This is recommended for use on fast networks.

Slide Share – In Slide share, the presenter has more control on when they share the onscreen content. This method of streaming is also recommended for lower speed networks.

Slide Share mode will help increase battery life on mobile devices.

To share content, annotations and changes during a presentation, press the share slide button.

Information Info on Session ID participants need to connect and the number of currently connected users.
