Sharing and watching

Wingman, translation and interviews work alike: your other devices, or other people, follow the conversation live.

3 min read

Your own devices

Signed in to the same account, they see it on their own. No invite needed.

They see CueBee’s replies and can run the session: get a card, pause or end it.

Other people (guests)

You send an invite, and they sign in to CueBee.

View only, no controls. By default they don’t see CueBee’s replies.

Your other devices

Nothing to set up

1. Start on one, join on the other

Start on your computer and a banner appears on your phone’s Home: tap Join. Start on your iPhone and a banner appears on your computer’s Home: click Join. Just sign in to the same account on both. Nothing to connect beforehand.

What the joined device can doSee live captions and CueBee’s replies; get a card, ask CueBee, pause or end. The device that started keeps doing the listening.Leave only stops watching on that device; the conversation goes on. In an interview, your phone also gets Help me answer, Capture and Rewrite.

Practice sessions aren’t shared. On the web you can watch your own sessions, but not control them.

3. What guests can see

Guests see the conversation only: what’s said, plus the translation when you’re translating. CueBee’s replies to you are yours alone by default.

Show CueBee’s replies to guestsOnly Wingman has this switch, and it’s off by default. Turn it on when you want a coach or a colleague to see how CueBee helps you.

Your backgrounds, recordings and screenshots are never sent to guests.

Guests see only the most recent part, and nothing is saved to their account.

Guests can copy the text they see. That can’t be prevented.

4. You decide who watches

Remove: that guest is disconnected at once and can’t come back.
New link: the old link and code stop working; people already watching stay.
Turn off link: nobody else can come in.
Stop sharing: everyone is disconnected, and your recording carries on.
Go invisible: CueBee hides from your computer; press Mac: Shift Command HWindows: Ctrl Shift H to bring it back.The screen goes black while recording and sharing go on; swipe sideways to bring it back.

Sharing ends by itself after 30 minutes paused, or 2 minutes with the starting device offline. Resume recording to share again.

Still have questions?

How many people can watch at once?

Up to 3 of your own devices and 3 guests per session.

Can I send invites from Android?

Not yet: Android can only watch for now. To share, start on a computer or an iPhone.

Do guests use up my time?

No. Watching uses no time; only the device that started the conversation counts it.

Why does it say Not shared?

This session couldn’t reach the sharing service. Recording and captions carry on as usual; your other devices just can’t see it for now.

One person, several screens
