Installing the Software – Mac
To install QDraw 3 on Mac, drag the QDraw 3 icon to the application shortcut.
Download the App
To make full use of the range of features offered by QDraw 3 you need to connect devices
as presenter or participants. To do this you require the DisplayNote app which is available
on the iTunes App Store and Google Play. Download it on any devices you wish to connect
and use with QDraw 3.
5
Setting up the Connection
Once the QDraw 3 software is on your machine and the DisplayNote app installed on your
devices you are ready to begin.
Start by making sure that all devices, both wired and wireless, are connected to the same
network.
Launch QDraw 3 on your computer and DisplayNote app on any mobile device you want
to connect to it.
6
Using QDraw 3.0
Creating a QDraw Account
QDraw 3 uses a concurrent license management system which means that you can install
QDraw 3 on any computer. Your license is enabled by logging into your account on a
computer.
The first time you use QDraw, will need to register a QDraw account. Click the ‘Register’
button to begin this process.
Fill out your name, email and a password and click ‘Register’. If you have a QDraw license
key, enter it here. Leaving the License key field blank will begin a 30 day trial.
After completing the registration process you will be sent a confirmation email. Go to the
email account used in registration and click the link to confirm your account.
7
Starting a Session
Open QDraw 3 on the computer and click ‘Start a Session’.
Enter the email and password you used to register and click ‘login’.
Stay Logged In
To start a session when there is no internet connection, you should have previously
checked* the ‘stay logged in’ button.
This will count towards the total number of sessions available.
After 14 days you will have to login to the software again to continue using offline. This is to
enable us to check licenses are up to date and not being abused.
*Please complete this step when connected to the Internet

You can choose to present using new content or use an existing DisplayNote lesson file.
Live Stream & Slide Share
Live Stream – In Live Stream, participants will receive a continuous stream of the Presenter’s
computer screen, including any annotations or changes the presenter makes.
A personal slide is created when the user annotates or makes
changes to the Presenter content they have received.
This is recommended for use on fast networks.
Slide Share – In Slide share, the presenter has more control on when they share the
onscreen content. This method of streaming is also recommended for lower speed
networks.
Slide Share mode will help increase battery life on mobile
devices.
To share content, annotations and changes during a presentation, press the share slide
button.

Connecting to a Session
Users can connect to a session as a ‘Participant’ or ‘Presenter’.
- Join as Participant
This allows users to see the presenter’s content on their device, capture the content, add
their own notes, media, annotations and save.
To connect Enter your username, the Session ID and press connect
DisplayNote will connect participant to presenter.
If connection is unsuccessful see ‘Failed to Connect with Session ID’
- Join as Presenter
Selecting ‘Join as Presenter’ will ask the user to login in to their QDraw account. Once
completed, the device will auto-connect to an active session.
Presenter Mode allows users to take remote control of their desktop with their device, use
the DisplayNote toolbar, annotate & add media to that content, and save content.
Joining as a Presenter is limited to one presenter per session. While connected as presenter,
input is controlled through the touchscreen of your device, a single tap acts as a left click
and tap and hold for a right click.
11
Failed to Connect with Session ID
To connect, DisplayNote tries to determine the IP address of the Presenter’s computer and
connect directly. On occasion, direct connection may not be possible. Users will be asked
to select, via dropdown, an active session or manually enter the host IP address.
Note - The manual IP address connection is not for connecting via the Internet.
To connect using a manual IP address, either enter the IP address directly into the box (if no
sessions are found) or choose ‘MANUALLY SET IP’ (if other Presenter computers are found)
then enter the IP.
The IP address will be in the form ‘XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX’ eg ‘192.168.1.100’.
If connection is unsuccessful please refer to troubleshooting FAQ.
12
Creating Slides
After connecting to a session, users will see the Presenter’s screen. From here, users can
add annotations, shapes and other content to create personal slides.
To create a QDraw 3 Slide, click the right arrow on the toolbar when working on any
content. This will take a screen shot of the original content along with any annotation or
media you have added.
To review any of your slides, press the left arrow.
Left image is QDraw 3 on Windows with annotations, right image is a connected app with
both presenter and personal annotations.
Once a user adds content to a screen, it no longer shows the live feed from the Presenter’s
screen. Instead, what is shown is the slide that will be saved to the user’s personal device
including annotations from the presenter and the user.
When a user has completed adding annotations to a slide they can then return to the live
feed by tapping the live screen button in the top right of the screen on their tablet.
