You can beam a web page, a video or other content from your screen to another device by bringing the devices together (typically back to back). Before you begin; Make sure both devices are unlocked, support Near Field Communication (NFC), and have both NFC and Android Beam turned on. Follow these steps:

Open a screen that contains something youd like to share, such as a Browser page, YouTube video, or place page in Maps.
Move the back of your phone toward the back of the other device.
When the devices connect, you hear a sound, the image on your screen reduces in size, and you see the message Touch to beam.
Touch your screen anywhere.
Your friends device displays the transferred content. Or, if the necessary app isnt installed, Google Play opens to a screen where your friend can download the app.
