It essentially gives your Vizy a URL that's accessible from anywhere on the Internet. From this URL, you can do everything you can do locally, including command shell and file editor access. | + | The Web Sharing functionality of Vizy allows you to interact with your Vizy outside of your local network through a secure https connection. It essentially gives your Vizy a URL that's accessible from anywhere on the Internet. From this URL you can access everything you can normally access, including all apps/examples, the app console, command shell, and file editor. |

| So for example, you wouldn't be able to access your Vizy from your hotel room later that evening, because the URL will have changed by then. You can, however, email or text the URL to a friend, and they can access your Vizy.
