Beam Overview and Requirements

ScreenMeet Beam Overview

ScreenMeet Beam is an optional, paid add-on to ScreenMeet Support that enables true unattended remote access. It allows agents to connect to a device even when no end user is present. This is ideal for managing infrastructure, kiosks, remote employee machines, or VIP endpoints that require on-demand administrative access.

To enable this functionality, the Beam client must be installed on the remote device. During installation, each device is registered to a Beam Group using a unique Group Key. The Beam Group controls who is allowed to access the device.

ScreenMeet Beam Requirements

Beam supports the following operating systems:

• Windows:

  • Windows 10 and 11

  • Requires .NET Framework 4.6.2 or later

• Windows Server:

  • Server 2016

  • Server 2019

  • Server 2022

• macOS:

  • macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) or later

Deployment Workflow

The Beam deployment process includes two key steps:

1. Group Setup and Access Management

Before installing the client, create Beam Groups that define who can access which devices. Each group generates a unique Device Group Key, which is used to bind devices to the group during installation.

2. Client Installation and Configuration

After group setup, install the Beam Client on macOS or Windows devices. During installation, each device is linked to the proper Beam Group using the Device Group Key, either via the graphical interface or deployment scripts.
