ClickShare Base Unit enables the users to mirror the macOS devices to the screen connected to the Base Unit using the AirPlay functionality of the macOS.

Depending on the way the ClickShare Base Unit is installed in your company, different actions will be required to be able to share via AirPlay to the ClickShare Base Unit. This KB describes how to use the AirPlay in two different setups:

1. Base Unit connected to the network
2. Base Unit not connected to the network (i.e. standalone)

Barco strongly recommends that you connect the Base Unit to the network and that you always keep your Base Units up to date. For more information on different network setups, see [KB7931] or ClickShare Network Deployment Whitepaper in the Downloads section below.
