What Group P lay can do
Once you have started a Group Play session and
another user has joined, tap on the person icon
next to the options button to see which users
are active in the session. The model of Galaxy
you and the other user have will determine
what functions are available in Group Play.
Group Camcorder, which allows you to view
live camera feeds of other users’ devices, is
not available on all Samsung devices. All Galaxy smartphones
and tablets will allow you to shar e music, images, videos a nd
documents, and play games with other users in Group Play
How Wi-Fi Di rect wo r ks
Whichever device is hosting the Group Play session will create
a Wi-Fi Direct signal. Other devices can connect to this signal in
the same way that you would connect your Galaxy to a Wi-Fi
connection. This is the rea son why you can use Group P l ay without
a Wi-Fi or 3G/4G connection, because the connection is coming
from the hosting device itself. However this does mean that whilst
you’ re connected to a Group Play session via Wi-Fi direct you won’t
be connected to a normal Wi-Fi connection, you’ll have to leave
Group Play to reconnect to the internet.
