V U This Lets Anyone Control a TV or Meeting-Room Screen From Their Phone, With No App or Cable

TelAve News/10906819
Free web service turns any browser-equipped display into a phone-controlled screen for photos, PDFs, timers, notices and QR codes. No mirroring, no account needed.

LONDON - TelAve -- V U This (vuthis.com) today announced the public launch of a web service that lets anyone put content on a TV, projector or meeting-room screen directly from their phone, without installing an app, finding a cable, or mirroring their whole phone to the room.

The process takes seconds. The screen's browser opens vuthis.com and shows a QR code. A phone scans the code and becomes the remote. From the phone, the user chooses what the screen shows: photos and slideshows, PDF documents with page controls, large text, announcements, clocks in any time zone, countdown, count-up or count-to timers, live tally counters, and QR codes for guest Wi-Fi or a link. Only the chosen content appears; notifications and other tabs stay on the phone.

"Every meeting room, classroom and church hall has a screen, and every screen has a browser," said John Wilson, founder of V U This. "Casting and mirroring were designed to show your whole device. Most of the time you want to show one thing and keep everything else private. V U This is that: open, scan, show."

Because it runs entirely in the browser, V U This works on smart TVs, laptops connected to projectors, Raspberry Pi displays and existing digital-signage players, with nothing to install on the display or the phone. When a session ends, the screen returns to its connection code, ready for the next person.

A free session requires no account and runs for 60 minutes with up to 20 photos and one PDF. Passes from $5.99 for 24 hours to $299.99 for a year add unlimited sessions, multiple screens, 250 MB of storage, queueing for automatic playlists, image announcements and additional colour palettes.

Early use cases span meeting rooms and coworking spaces, classrooms and training rooms, shops and reception areas, events and community halls, and homes, where it offers a simple way to show phone photos on the living-room TV without casting.

V U This is bootstrapped and self-funded, and can be self-hosted on a private network by organisations that require it.

V U This is available now at https://vuthis.com. No download or account is required to start a free session. Feature guides, including a full-screen countdown timer for classrooms, are at https://vuthis.com/full-screen-countdown-timer

About V U This: V U This makes it intuitive, effortless and polished to connect one device to another screen. The name is pronounced "V-U This", as in "view this". The company is based in the United Kingdom.
