You can collaborate in real time with your colleagues or clients by starting a multiplayer spatial presentation from the JigSpace app on Apple Vision Pro.
What is a multiplayer mode?
With multiplayer mode activated you can view an immersive 3D presentation in JigSpace at the same time as other Apple Vision Pro viewers. Your viewers will be able to see your content, presentation steps, audio, animation synchronised in real time as your present.
All viewers on the multiplayer session can also interact with the 3D content in your Jig presentation, pick up objects and pull them apart, markup or annotate the presentation, all while talking with you like you are in the same room as each other.
Spatial personas
With spatial personas, you don't just share the same spatial context and 3D content, you'll be able to see and interact with each other as if you're in the same room together. You'll see each others facial expressions, move around to different places inside your Jig together, and see each others hands to help interact with 3D content naturally.
Multiplayer presentations do not require spatial personas to be turned on, however you will not see each other unless you are annotating or drawing on 3D models.

Step-by-step guide
Starting a multiplayer 3D presentation
JigSpace uses Apple SharePlay, so you need to begin by starting a FaceTime call on your Apple Vision Pro with your colleague or client.
Once you are in an active FaceTime call with your viewers, tap the digital crown on your headset, and open the JigSpace app from the app menu.
Start a multiplayer presentation by tapping the {icon-shareplay.svg} SharePlay icon in the top right menu.
You will see a short tutorial and then the {icon-shareplay.svg} SharePlay icon will light up green when it is ready for you to select a presentation. You can open a presentation from either:
- Open from the JigSpace app
- Launch from a share link.
Your FaceTime colleagues will then be notified that you are inviting them to join a presentation. You will know that they have been invited from within the presentation by the SharePlay indicator above the instruction panel.
As the host presenter, you will be the only participant who is able to control what step is shown to everyone using spatial gestures or tapping on the arrow buttons. All guest viewers will be able to move, manipulate, and pull apart the objects in your presentation.
Joining a multiplayer 3D presentation
As a guest viewer on an existing FaceTime call with the presenter of the Jig, accept the invite when it appears on your screen.
You will be prompted in JigSpace to decide where in your local environment you want to place the 3D presentation.
Once this is set, the 3D presentation content will be synchronized, and you will be able to see a window-based persona of the presenter, and talk to them as if you were in the same room. They will see your FaceTime persona and hear your voice.
You will be able to manipulate the 3D objects in the presentation with other participants seeing your changes, and you seeing theirs. Only the host presenter can progress the multiplayer presentation from one step to another, in the same way a slideshow host clicks through their slides.
If you do not have the JigSpace app open when you are invited to join the multiplayer presentation, you may see other prompts appear in Apple Vision Pro inviting you to join the presentation. Choose "Open" to join the multiplayer presentation.
Important information
Multiplayer is currently limited to 5 participants at a time (1 presenter and 4 guest viewers).
Multiplayer presentations are designed for live presentations, collaboration, and discussion. No audio or video is recorded by JigSpace of these sessions.
