Sharing Screens vs. Sharing Actions: what's the difference?
Live Sharing includes the ability to share screens or share actions between devices. Here are some differences between these two functions:
| Share Screens | Share Actions | |
|---|---|---|
| Display | Following devices show exactly what's on the lead device's screen | Following devices show the same songs, but show their own layouts, including personal info for each user |
| Interactivity | Following devices become completely non-interactive, like a TV screen | Following devices can still perform tasks independently, like auto-scrolling or sending MIDI |
| Leaders | The screen can only be shared from one lead device | Actions can be shared from multiple lead devices |
| Setup | Following devices need a BandHelper account, but don't need the latest data | Following devices must be synced and contain the same data as the lead device |
| Transmission Speed | Following devices usually respond more slowly | Following devices usually respond more quickly |
| Best for… | The simplest possible setup, when followers simply need to view shared info, and all devices have roughly the same screen sizes | Users who want to see their own layouts, use a variety of screen sizes or run different functions from each device |
