About taking over

Taking over simplifies which connected device is using conference view. A connected device can stop the conference view of another device and immediately start a new conference view. This reduces the amount of actions that must be done to switch devices. Taking over can be done by any connected device at any time.

Prerequisites

At least two different devices must be connected to the ClickShare. One of these devices must be using conference view. For more information, see:

How to take over

1. Is the connection made using a Button?

   • If yes, press and hold the share button.
   • If no, click on Take over (reference 2).
   

   Note: For more information on the location of the share button, see “The ClickShare Button”.

   

2. Share the desired content using the conferencing app. For more information, see the documentation of the conferencing app.

   

   Tip: The content being shared on the meeting room display is synced to the content being shared in the conferencing app. When a different screen or window is shared, no actions are needed in the Desktop App or Button App.

3. Click on the desired layout in the Desktop App or Button App (reference 5).

   

   Note: The layout cannot be changed when two displays are connected to the ClickShare.
   

   Tip: The Desktop App or Button App is minimized when conference view is started.

   

   The layout is changed on the meeting room display.
