After the successful creation of the Public channel, it will appear in the table overview below with a URL that can be shared with anyone even without having an IO Frog account.
As per the example, you can see the view of the Public channel that we created in this guide. We added 4 devices that are now shown on the map, each with a data overview of the device that can be extended for more details after clicking the arrow at the top right corner of the device.
