9.3 Desktop App room sharing

Availability
About screen sharing

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

About room sharing

A room account that is added to a meeting combines screen sharing to the room displays and sharing within a conferencing app. Meaning, all supported ClickShare functionalities are mirrored to the remote participants without requiring additional actions in the conferencing app or the room account.

Base Unit requirement

The local IT department must configure the Base Unit to allow connecting without needing a pin code. For more information, see the installation manual of the Base Unit.

Prerequisites

The user device must be connected to the ClickShare system. For more information, see “Desktop App connection”.

Conferencing app
A conferencing application sends audio, video and content over the internet to and from the participants. Joining a meeting through a conferencing app is seen as being a remote participant.
