Add your other devices to a shared computer
Already on someone's computer from one device? Add your phone, browser, or another computer without a new invite by confirming a code on a device that's already in.
This works for someone who has already joined a computer shared with them. Each device still gets its own approval, but you approve it yourself instead of needing a new invite.
Before you start
- You’ve joined the shared computer on at least one device. See Join someone else’s computer.
- Keep a device that’s already on the shared computer nearby, with Enjoy open.
Steps
Sign in on the new device
Use the same Enjoy account you joined with.
Choose the shared computer
In a browser at app.enjoy.dev, select it under Pick a computer, where it’s marked Shared with you · Add this browser. In the computer app, open the computer menu in the top-left corner and choose it. In the iPhone app, find it on the Computers screen or in Settings under Shared with you, then select Add this iPhone.
Look at the code
The new device shows Confirm on your other device and a six-digit code.
Approve it on your other device
On a device that’s already on that computer, open Enjoy and go to the shared computer. A window asks to add a device and shows six digits. If they match the new device, select It matches · Approve.
Start working
The new device opens the shared computer. The device that approved it says it was added.
