Share by link

A link plays a stand on a device with no Foxar account: a partner's screen, a borrowed iPad.

A link plays a stand on a device with no Foxar account: a partner's screen, a borrowed iPad. Making links is a separate permission that Foxar gives along with the right to create stands. It then shows in the stand's menu as Links to share.

  1. Give the link a name, to find it again, a number of devices and a number of days, within the limits shown under the fields.

  2. Create a link, then Copy the link or show its QR code to scan it with the other device.

  3. The window lists the devices that opened it. Free this place gives a device's place to the next one, Revoke stops the link on every device.

A link plays the stand's free models. When the stand belongs to the Foxar team, it plays its Foxar+ models too. A device that is also signed in to a Foxar account plays what that account opens, a licence or an organization included.

The link opens the stand with its last day and a Play button. Prepare this device (on an iPad: Prepare this iPad) keeps the stand on the device to play it without a network, up to 72 hours at a time and never past the end of the link.

  • "This link is already open on as many devices as it allows": every place is taken. The person who sent the link can free one.

  • "This link has ended": it was revoked or reached its last day. A new one has to be asked for.

Good to know

  • When a link opens Foxar+ models, it opens them in the stand’s player only. The same model in the normal library stays behind the paywall.

  • The link stops opening the stand when it ends or is revoked, or when its maker no longer holds the right to share stands.
