About

*NOTE*": If you are a Windows or Mac user, please prefer to use our native clients available at https://suitabletech.com/installers. The Chrome version has a few missing features, and doesn't perform as well as the native versions. It also only supports x86_64 based hardware (e.g., ARM-based Chromebooks are not supported).

This is a alpha release of a port of the Beam pilot software to Chrome. It is missing many of the features from the native Windows and Mac client. Here is a partial list:
- Gamepad support
- Screensharing support
- XMPP/HTTPS proxy support
- Language support
- Playout device enumeration

The Beam pilot software is used to drive Beam Smart Presence Systems (https://suitabletech.com/). More information can be found over at https://suitabletech.com/documentation/pilot-guide/.
