Step-By-Step Instructions
Create a new Apple ID
The first thing you should do is create a new Apple ID. An Apple ID is used to download apps off the Apple App Store, which is required to download the VRIFY app.
We recommend you use a real shared company email address to create your Apple ID (such as info@companyname.com).
Download the VRIFY App
Once you have created an Apple ID, log into your iPad with that Apple ID.
Next, open the App Store.
Search for VRIFY:
Tap Get to download the app.
Once downloaded, open the VRIFY App.
Log in with your VRIFY account details.
Done! The VRIFY app is now set up on your iPad.
Next, learn about using your iPads in 1:1 meetings and presentations.
Recommended iPad Settings
Lock all iPad screens in the landscape orientation.
To do this, swipe down from the upper right corner of any screen on an iOS device to access Control Center where you can lock the screen orientation.
For more detailed instructions on locking screens to landscape, check out this Apple how-to article.
Note - when using your iPad for podium presentations, it is recommended to turn off screen lock. This is because the location of the HDMI dongle connection may require you to flip your iPad and having the screen orientation unlocked will allow for easy iPad use.
Lower the brightness on the host iPad to conserve battery.
To do this, swipe down from the upper right corner of any screen on an iOS device to access the Control Center where you can adjust the brightness.
For more detailed instructions on lowering the iPad brightness, check out this Apple how-to article.
Set the Auto-Lock setting to 'Never' to prevent devices from going to sleep during a presentation. This is particularly important for when presenting at conference booths.
To do this, go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Make sure Auto-Lock is set to Never.
Set the password for all your iPads to be the same. Having a generic company password for your iPads will prevent confusion and difficulty accessing your devices.
To set or update your iPad password on each device, go to Settings, then depending on your iPad model, tap either Face ID & Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode.
For more detailed instructions to set or update your iPad passcode, check out this Apple how-to article.
Recommended iPad Accessories
Using an Apple pencil will help ensure cleaner and more accurate annotations on your VRIFY content during meetings and presentations. You'll just need one for the meeting host/presenter. Ensure the Apple pencil you buy is compatible with your device (newer iPad models will need a 2nd generation pencil).
Using an iPad Case will prolong the life of your device. Cases protect against drops, scratches, and debris, and are recommended since iPads are brought on-site and will get a high amount of use over time.
A USB-C to HDMI Adapter or a USB-C to Multiport Adapter is recommended for presenting. It is common for presentation hardware to support HDMI inputs, so having a variation of adapter will ensure you are able to hook up your iPad to presentation equipment.
The Monoprice adapter USB-C to HDMI adapter is recommended. Note that the comparable Apple adapter may result in insufficient power to send the HDMI signal over some A/V setups.
