Share a terminal session

Share a live terminal session in Wardterm: send a link or a code, let each guest in, give and take back control, and stop sharing at any time.

Start sharing

  1. In the session menu, choose Share session. Hosting needs Pro, Team or Business; joining is free.
  2. Send the Link or the Code. Each works once, for 10 minutes. New invite makes another.
  3. When a guest asks to join, check who it is and choose Let in, or Decline.

Pro shares with one guest at a time; Team and Business with up to 10.

Join a session

  1. Open the link on a device with Wardterm, or choose Join a shared session: in Cmd+K and in a new tab on Mac, or with + in the Connections tab on iPhone.
  2. Paste the link or type the code. Without an account, type your name.
  3. Wait for the host to let you in.

As a guest you watch the terminal. Fit fits it to your screen, Actual size shows it as the host sees it. Leave ends your visit.

Give control

  1. The guest chooses Ask for control.
  2. You choose Give control, or Not now. The guest can now type in your session.
  3. Take back control ends it at any time. The guest can also choose Give back control.

With Confirm each guest command, you approve each command a guest wants to run. On a production server, dangerous commands always ask.

Stop sharing

In the session menu, choose Stop sharing, or remove one guest. A shared session also ends by itself after 8 hours.
