Sign in to MLX pages in Twin Desk

How MLX pages open signed in inside Twin Desk for Mac, with one confirmation.

Twin Desk opens MLX pages, such as a session, a channel or a share, in its own browser. They open signed in as you, using Desk's own sign-in, so you don't sign in to MLX a second time.

The first time

The first time an MLX page needs you, Desk shows its sign-in sheet once. It names Twin Desk for Mac and says that connecting lets the app sign a browser in to MLX. Confirm it, and the page opens signed in.

After that, MLX pages open signed in in each of Desk's spaces without asking again.

What Desk checks

Before it signs a page in, Desk checks that:

  • the page belongs to your organisation's MLX;
  • you are still signed in to Desk as the same person, in the same organisation; and
  • you haven't signed out of Desk's browser since.

If any of these has changed, nothing is signed in and the page asks you to sign in the usual way.

Sign out

Signing out of Twin Desk, or signing in as someone else, signs its MLX pages out too. The next MLX page asks again.

Your organisation turns this on

Where your organisation's MLX hasn't turned this on yet, MLX pages in Desk ask you to sign in as before.
