About Button sharing

The share button of the Button can behave in the following options:

• Content sharing. (default)
• Extending the desktop.

Which behavior is used can be configured using the Desktop App or Button App while the Button is connected. For more information, see “Extending the desktop”.

About screen sharing

Screen sharing mirrors the entire screen of the connected device to the room displays. Every action or change done on the connected device is represented on the meeting room displays in real time.

About window sharing

When a specific window is being shared, then any actions or changes done to other windows or the desktop of the connected device are not visible to meeting room participants. This allows the user to do actions in another window or make notes without the attendees seeing these actions on the connected displays. No content is changed on the meeting room displays as long as the window remains open on the device. If the window is minimized, then ClickShare automatically pauses the sharing. For more information, see “Pause sharing”. If the window is closed, then ClickShare automatically stops sharing. For more information, see “Stop sharing”.

Multi-screen sharing

By default, ClickShare shares content to all connected displays. The shared content is identical on each display. If the content must be different per display, see “Side-by-side sharing” or “Dual screen sharing”.

Prerequisites

The Button must be connected to the device. For more information, see “Button connection”.
