Safari: user experience
The following chart displays mashme behaviour in Safari browser, depending on the device used (desktop or mobile):
Feature | MacOS (desktop) | iOS (mobile) |
Roles |
| |
General user experience | If the mashme tab is not active, Safari will pause the audio/video automatically. If the mashme tab is not active for a long time, a reconnection will be triggered to recover the room connections. This behaviour is an inbuilt resource saving feature within Safari and is not specific to mashme software. |
If the mashme tab is not active for a long time, a reconnection will be triggered to recover the room connections. The experience will depend on the hardware specifications and the available resources. |
Screensharing |
Safari only allows you to share the entire screen (tab or application are not available). Safari does not allow you to share with audio. | Not supported  (Same behaviour as in an Android mobile device) |
Room content | To download resources from a room, it is mandatory to "allow pop-up windows" and "downloads" in the browser navigation bar. (Or click: Safari > Preferences > Websites > Downloads/PopupWindows > "Allow" ) | To download resources from a room, it is mandatory to disable the option “block emergent windows” in Safari application settings. |
