Teleb — Support

You need two devices: one screen sends, the other camera receives. iPhone to Android works in either direction.

Getting started

Getting started

about 20 cm
  1. On the receiving device, tap Receive. It shows a code.
  2. On the sending device, tap Send, pick a file, then point its camera at the receiver's code.
  3. Both devices show the same three words. Check they match, then accept on both.
  4. The sender fills its screen with a moving code. Hold the receiver's camera facing it, about 20 cm away, and wait.

Troubleshooting

Nothing is being received.

Check the distance first — about 20 cm, with the whole code inside the frame. Then check for glare: a reflection across either screen is the most common cause. Raise the sender’s screen brightness. Avoid direct sunlight.

It is going slowly.

Light through a camera is a narrow channel, and Teleb is built for when nothing faster exists. Missed frames cost time, never the file. Holding steadier is the only speed-up.

The sender says "Stopped", not "Sent".

That is deliberate. With no back-channel, the sender cannot know whether anything arrived, so it does not claim delivery. Check the receiving device.

My video was refused.

On purpose. A short clip would take most of an hour on this channel, so Teleb refuses before you start.

My file is too large.

Above a certain size Teleb warns and asks again; above a higher one it refuses. For files that big, a cable is the right tool. The "What Teleb can and can't do" page inside the app gives the current thresholds.

The three words do not match.

Do not accept. Matching words prove you are connected to the phone in front of you. If they differ, start over somewhere else.

A received file is missing.

Received files go to Teleb’s own folder, visible in the Files app on iOS. If you chose to save a photo to your library, it is in Photos instead.

Reporting a problem

Email sgyeom0319@gmail.com. The most useful report includes both device models and OS versions, which side failed (sending or receiving), roughly how far the transfer got, and the file type and size.
