# Mobile Experience in Cosmos Video

The Cosmos Video mobile app brings the digital space to iOS 13+ and Android 8.0+ devices, so remote teams and online classes stay connected away from their desk. Members see live availability statuses (Available, Listening, Focusing, Away), join meetings and TalkNow voice conversations, send messages in channels and DMs, and share screen with speaker pinning. Video meeting duration is unlimited.

## What Can Users Do in the Cosmos Video Mobile App?

The mobile app covers the core of the desktop experience. Users see which teammates are online and in what state, respond to live conversation notifications, join public and private channels, send direct messages with full conversation history, and react in threads with emoji. Guests can join a space through a shared link without creating an account, which mirrors the desktop guest flow.

For voice and video, the app supports HD audio and video, background noise suppression, audio-only and listening-only modes for low-bandwidth situations, and screen sharing with speaker pinning. Meeting chat is integrated so messages during a call stay tied to the session.

## How Does the Mobile App Fit Into an All-Day Workflow?

Because Cosmos Video's desktop workspace is presence-first, mobile users appear with accurate status to their team even when they are on the move. A teammate seeing "Listening" on the mobile app knows the user can be interrupted for urgent matters, while "Focusing" signals otherwise. This avoids the dropout feeling that happens when a teammate goes offline entirely.

The mobile app supports unlimited meeting duration, so impromptu catchups, field check-ins, and student office hours are not clipped by a platform-enforced timer.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Which devices does the Cosmos Video mobile app support?

The app supports iOS 13 and newer and Android 8.0 and newer. This covers the majority of active smartphones and keeps the app usable on older devices that are common in education and bring-your-own-device environments.

### Can I join a Cosmos Video meeting on mobile without an account?

Yes. Guests can join a space through a shared link without signing up, which mirrors the desktop guest flow. This is useful for client calls, external interviews, prospective-student tours, and community events that include non-members.

### Does the mobile app support screen sharing?

Yes. The Cosmos Video mobile app supports screen sharing with speaker pinning so remote workers in the field can demo an app, share a document, or troubleshoot with colleagues. Pinning keeps the speaker visible while the shared screen is on display.

### How is background noise handled on mobile?

The mobile app includes background noise suppression, and supports audio-only and listening-only modes for low-bandwidth or noisy situations. These options let members stay in a conversation without degrading the experience for everyone else.

### Are messages and DMs fully available on the mobile app?

Yes. Public and private channels, direct messages, threads, and emoji reactions are all supported on mobile with full conversation history, so members switching between desktop and phone during the day pick up exactly where they left off.
