I am an educator that has happily used #thunkableclassic in the classroom for quite some time. I just started retrofitting everything to use Thunkable X and had some questions about the Live Test feature.
In the past, classroom instructors, like me, struggled with the requirement that the computer and device be on the **same wireless SSID network and/or that traffic could flow throw some rendezvous server** on the back-end that wasn’t blocked, etc.
**Can someone please explain how the architecture of the Live Test feature of Thunkable X works?** Does it still have the same requirements. I notice that the Live Test app is different, e.g., doesn’t require you to enter in a code, doesn’t list an IP address, etc. Put simply, **have the underlying requirements for using the live testing feature changed**?
Thanks in advance!
James

Thunkable X does not require that the PC and the device are on the same network. The relationship between them is made when Google accounts match.

I definitely noticed that. But what are the new network requirements (if any). Is there still a rendezvous server that needs access to a given port or not? Is there an engineer from Thunkable X that could address this directly?
Many thanks,
James

Hi there,
You are correct, live testing on Thunkable X is quite different than that of Classic. Instead of scanning a QR code, you simply have to be logged in to the same account on your device as on your desktop and hit ‘Live Test’. No need to be on the same Wi-Fi anymore!
You can also [live preview](https://docs.thunkable.com/thunkable-cross-platform/live-test#live-preview) your apps without having to go to your desktop.
