HELP CENTER

Help without the scavenger hunt.

Start a presentation, understand what the screen is doing, and fix the common problems without translating an instruction manual.

Start with the basicsContact us

QUICK START

From room to presentation in five steps.

1. Open WTF.NOW on the screen

Use a supported screen app or open wtf.now in a compatible browser. A session QR code will appear.

2. Scan the QR code

Scan it with the WTF.NOW app on iOS or Android. Other supported devices can use the browser client.

3. Choose and review

Select a local file, a photo, or content from connected cloud storage. Review it privately on your own device.

4. Press Present

While you choose and review, the shared screen shows a branded waiting state. Your content appears only after you choose Present.

5. Control and finish

Move forward or back and end the presentation from your own device. The presentation content and session state are cleared afterward.

SUPPORTED CONTENT

Bring the file. We’ll handle the alphabet soup.

Documents.doc, .docx, .odt, .pdf, .rtf, .txt
Images.bmp, .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .svg, .webp
Presentations.odp, .ppt, .pptx
Spreadsheets.csv, .ods, .xls, .xlsx

Content can come from your device, your photo gallery, or connected cloud storage.

SCREEN SETUP

A dedicated screen app is useful. It isn’t required.

Browser

Open wtf.now in a compatible modern browser on the shared screen.

Screen apps

Dedicated apps are available for Google/Android TV, Titan OS, Xiaomi and Samsung environments.

PRIVACY & SECURITY

Only the selected content reaches the screen.

No personal credentials on the shared computer
No full-device screen mirroring
No need to join the local corporate network
Session traffic uses TLS 1.3
One-time, expiring QR sessions
Files and session state are cleared afterward

TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the boring fixes first. They work annoyingly often.

The QR code will not scan

Make sure the entire code is visible, increase screen brightness if needed, and try moving closer. If the session has expired, reload WTF.NOW on the screen to generate a new code.

The screen shows a waiting state

That is expected while the presenter selects and reviews content. The selected file appears only after the presenter chooses Present.

A file will not open

Confirm that its format is listed above and that the presenter’s device has a working internet connection. If the issue continues, try a PDF version and contact us with the original file type.

The presentation stopped responding

Check internet access on both devices. If the session ended, return to WTF.NOW on the shared screen and start a new session.

I still need help

Email hi@wtf.now with the screen platform, presenter device, file type and what happened. Do not send confidential presentation content.
