You can beam a web page, a video or other content from your screen to another device by bringing the devices together (typically back to back). Before you begin; Make sure both devices are unlocked, support Near Field Communication (NFC), and have both NFC and Android Beam turned on. Follow these steps:

  • Open a screen that contains something youd like to share, such as a Browser page, YouTube video, or place page in Maps.
  • Move the back of your phone toward the back of the other device.
  • When the devices connect, you hear a sound, the image on your screen reduces in size, and you see the message Touch to beam.
  • Touch your screen anywhere.
  • Your friends device displays the transferred content. Or, if the necessary app isnt installed, Google Play opens to a screen where your friend can download the app.
