A QR code is a type of bar code. If your mobile device has a rear-facing camera and a QR code scanning app, you can scan QR codes like the one on the display. Your mobile device then executes the QR codes’ commands. Typically, QR codes’ commands display messages or open web pages.
To connect by QR code
Start the SMART kapp app on your mobile device.
Hold your mobile device’s rear-facing camera still over the display’s QR code so that the QR code appears in the center of the app screen.
The app connects your mobile device to the display.
Tip
If the app doesn’t connect your mobile device to the display, move your mobile device closer to or farther away from the display so that the app can capture the QR code.

Continuing a previous sessionYou can easily pick up from where you left off in a previous SMART kapp session. You can continue one of your previous sessions from the last snapshot taken in a session. It doesn’t matter if your previous session was on a SMART kapp board or a SMART Board interactive display.
Notes
When you continue a previous session, the content from that previous session replaces any existing content on your display. This content is not permanently erased and will return once you disconnect from your continued session.
When you continue a session, all the snapshots from that previous session are also available. However, as the session’s host, these snapshots are only visible to you. If you invite remote participants to join your continued session, they will not have access to any snapshots taken during the previous session.
