wow this is so cool
what is going on everybody i am mike
welcome back to tech247 tv i'm really
glad that you're back with me today
because what i'm going to show you is
going to knock your socks off
a few weeks ago tim and the executive
team at apple took the stage at wwdc
and they painted a picture of what the
iphone the ipad the mac
are gonna look like in the fall when the
newest software is released
in part of that demo they demonstrated a
technology called shareplay
this is a technology that runs on top of
facetime and allows you to
share content music movies and so much
more with people
over facetime now to bring that forward
it wasn't available in the first beta
but it is available now in ios 15
beta 2. now in today's video i'm going
to demonstrate what share play is how it
works
and some of the really cool things that
they didn't talk about on stage that you
can do with it let's get started
all right before we get in the future
review youtube tells me that 90
of you that are watching this video are
not subscribed the channel so if you
like the ipad you want to see more ipad
content
click the subscribe button down below
turn on notifications because i have
more content planned in regards to ipad
os
15 ios 15 and even my full reviews of
the operating system when they come out
and you don't want to miss out on that
now let's move on to shareplay this is a
feature that is built on top of facetime
as the fabric that is tying this feature
together for anyone that wants to use
the service
it allows you as a facetime user to
share content whether it is a movie that
you watch on itunes or an apple tv
maybe you want to share a song on apple
music or even better yet
if you want to share your desktop from
your ipad to someone that you're helping
either on your mac or on your iphone as
i'm going to demonstrate in just a
minute you can do that you know many
times i play tech support for people and
when they tell me that they're using an
iphone they want to show me an error
message
they can't it is such a pain because you
can do it on the mac well
hallelujah is coming to the iphone the
ipad
and i'm super happy about that i know
you're someone like me and you probably
help all your family out when they have
questions about their iphone
their mac well now you can help them
with this now if it wasn't great enough
already
you should be able to share this content
with people that are not on iphone not
on ipad
because facetime is being brought
cross-platform and these services
should work cross-platform as apple
calls out
on their ios and ipad os 15 feature page
now on with the demo you will need to
have your devices running ipad os 15
beta 2
or public beta 1. now the public beta is
not out yet it should be out within the
next i say five to seven days and you
can go to beta.apple.com to sign up for
it
so you can take advantage of that when
it comes out now what i'm gonna do is
i'm gonna initiate a facetime call from
my iphone
here to my ipad using my apple id which
is the easiest way
now once that call comes in here along
the bottom on my ipad there is a new
icon
for sharing i'm going to tap on that
we're going to click on this button
right here which is the shareplay icon
it says share my screen now if i click
on share my screen
here on my iphone in just a moment we
see that
join screen sharing click on open and
what you see here on that
ipad now i am sharing my screen from my
ipad
to my iphone the fidelity is
pretty good i would say it's definitely
not bad at all you also have there's
very little latency now i'm going to end
this
screen sharing session so i'm still
staying inside the facetime call now
what i'm going to do on my ipad i'm
going to swipe down i'm going to open up
music
and i'm gonna find a song here i'm gonna
listen to
weekend and it's loading now it shows
the song playing
right now if i pause it on this device
the music stops playing on my ipad and i
get a notification
now also if i click on the share play
button here on the top left hand corner
it shows here who's in the call whether
or not i want to leave and it shows that
we're doing share play audio
so stop share play share my screen so
i'm actually going to go ahead and push
stop share play i'm going to share
something from apple tv mythic quest is
probably my favorite show and
here we listen to poppy and ian and it's
going on
i'm going to go click on share here and
click on open
on my iphone it opens up the apple tv
and in just a moment here it's going to
start playing
and just like with music if i click
pause while in the share play session
stops playing on both devices
and i get a notification on the
subsequent devices that sharing has been
stopped playing
now here you can see here
i resumed it if i want to go full screen
i certainly can now you see that there's
still my video session that's here i can
actually swipe that away
let's say here on one of the devices if
you want to turn on subtitles on
on one device because i like watching
videos with subtitles english closed
caption and push play
closed captions are only played on one
device so that's not something that is
synced across
now the video is playing here i can
scrub forward
and it's instantaneous i could scrub
backwards it's instantaneous
play pause it all comes back now let's
just say i wanted to
have a chat session with this individual
you can
message with that individual or those
individuals that message appears
inside of the message thread or if it's
a group message thread it shows there
now what's even cooler i'm going to go
click on this
now here we see that this card shows it
shows mythic quest and
this is what they're doing this is
there's one person here i can leave if i
want to we're sharing apple tv
i can add people from here or i can
click on share link
and it allows me to create a link for
this share play session
and share it with anyone which is really
cool again making it cross-platform
allowing it to work now i'm gonna click
done i'm gonna go ahead and bring out my
video card here
i'm gonna click on play and the call is
back up
now i don't know about you but i think
this is a great feature and i cannot
wait for it to launch
in the fall with ios 15 and ipad os 15.
let me know down in the comments below
what apps you want to see to adopt share
play i mean i think youtube
is the you know the given one everyone
wants to see we want to see it launch on
netflix and definitely disney plus
but maybe there's some other services
that i don't know about maybe even a
gaming service like twitch oh that would
be really cool
let me know down in the comments below
