Set up a team screen

1. On your own phone or computer, open Settings, then Team screens.
2. Type a name for where it lives, like “Nurses’ station, ground floor”, and tap Add a team screen.
3. On a tablet: point its camera at the QR code, open the link, and tap Set up this screen.
4. On a computer with no camera: copy the link beside the code, email or message it to that computer, open it in the browser your team will use, and click Set up this screen.
5. Give each person a set-up code from Team & access, so they can choose their PIN.

The code and the link work once, for 10 minutes. Put team screens where residents and visitors can’t read them. Lock a tablet to the browser: Guided Access on an iPad, screen pinning on Android.

When it’s done

The screen shows your home’s name, the screen’s name and the names of your Staff, Seniors and Readers.

If it doesn’t work

• It says the link has run out: on Team screens, tap New QR code beside that screen and use the new one within 10 minutes.
• You use the same computer for your own sign-in: a browser set up as a team screen can’t be used for a normal sign-in. Use a separate browser, or a separate Chrome profile, for your own.
• The computer forgot it was a team screen: a PC that clears browser data when someone logs off, or uses private browsing, forgets its set-up. Set it up again, and ask whoever looks after the PC to keep that browser’s data.
