About desktop sharing

There are two ways of sharing content through the desktop app:

• Sharing a window or application
• Sharing a screen

Click on the thumbnail of desired screen or application to start sharing the selected content to the meeting room monitor in real time. It is possible to switch between sharing different screens or applications at any time by clicking on another thumbnail.

Preview display

If local view is enabled on the Base Unit an eye icon in the upper right corner will be present. Clicking the eye icon will pop-up a preview window. This window will show what is currently being displayed on the meeting room monitor.

Note: Preview cannot be used while content is being shared, for security reasons.

Note: For more information on how to toggle local view, see the installation manual of the Base Unit: https://www.barco.com/support.

How to share single screen

The currently shared window or application will get a red border and two advanced options as overlay:

• Stop sharing: disconnects the sharing functionality.
• Pause / resume sharing: will freeze / resume content that is being shared on the meeting room monitor.

If multiple devices are sharing at the same time, then the content will be resized and distributed across the meeting room monitor.
