# Proximity connection

## Overview

The Mago mobile app can connect to a Mago display to enable the following features:

* Start a meeting from My Calendar
* Launch personal Mago whiteboards
* Present files from cloud drives (OneDrive, Google Drive)
* Open personal apps and web links
* Remote meeting control (volume, microphone, camera)
* Remote control using trackpad, mouse or keyboard mode

The connection can be established by:

* Scanning the QR code displayed on the Mago Room screen
* Entering the six-digit alphanumeric room code

## Bluetooth requirements

To authenticate user proximity securely, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) must be enabled on both the mobile device and the Mago Room device.

* Minimum BLE version required: 4.0
* Bluetooth is used only for proximity verification
* No data is transferred via Bluetooth
* Devices do not need to be paired

All operational data exchanged between the mobile app and the Mago display is transmitted securely through Mago’s end-to-end encrypted HTTPS signaling service.

## Automatic disconnection

When the mobile device moves beyond the allowed proximity range, the app stops receiving packets and automatically disconnects cloud drives, personal calendars and session-bound links from the Mago display.
