The future of the meeting: Efficient wireless presenting

Today we focus on innovative solutions for your conference experience. Thanks to wireless presentation technologies, you no longer have to deal with cumbersome HDMI cables. Instead, it enables a seamless and lag-free connection to the screen, projector and the rest of the conference room equipment. This saves you valuable time in your meetings and allows you to concentrate fully on the content. Experience the future of conference technology with us!

Wireless presentation systems offer a number of advantages over wired connections. Not only do they eliminate the need for HDMI cables, but they also promote team collaboration through multi-user functionality, offer interactive touch-back features and enable flexible and smooth integration into your existing infrastructure through platform independence and BYOD or BYOM functionality.

In general, a distinction can be made between two connection options: One is the connection via a dongle that is connected to the laptop. On the other hand, the connection via a software tool for which no additional dongle is required. Both variants have their respective advantages. Some presentation systems support both connection via dongle and via software.

Discover the variety of dongle-based solutions for optimised presentations and conference experiences. Dongle-based presentation systems are characterised by their intuitive usability.

The Barco ClickShare series is the first choice when it comes to simple and intuitive presentations. With the ClickShare button or via the app, you can easily mirror your screen onto the screen or display in the meeting room. This way, all participants can see your content live. Your guests can also present on the display or projector in your meeting or conference room without any effort.

With the ClickShare Conference Series from Barco, connectivity is paramount! Because the ClickShare Conferencing Button connects wirelessly to existing conference cameras, soundbars, microphones and your video conferencing tools such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams. So you can take your laptop into a meeting room and start a video conference with the existing hardware.

The full functionality of Barco can be achieved in combination with the Barco App. This is installed on the laptop and provides all the functions in the background to make full use of the Barco ClickShare systems. The app is also available for mobile devices and allows content to be shared directly from the smartphone or tablet.

An Apple TV in the conference room provides an easy way to quickly share content on the display or screen via AirPlay. Airplay is built into all iOS, macOS and iPadOS devices by default. So you can share content from your MacBook, iPad or iPhone at any time with just a few clicks. AirPlay is suitable for the BYOD concept, but does not enable wireless video conferencing or touch-back.

The advantage of AirPlay is that it is directly available on a wide range of devices, without additional software or buttons. However, Windows or Android devices cannot connect to Apple TV via AirPlay and therefore cannot stream content via Apple TV.

The EZCast Pro Dongle II uses Wi-Fi certified Miracast technology, among users, so you're not limited to certain apps or streaming specific content. You can view anything from your Miracast-enabled Windows or Android device on a display or projector.

This allows you to share your content directly from a variety of devices without additional software or buttons. The EZCast Pro Stick II supports 4K resolutions of up to 3,840 x 2,160 pixels.

This way, every participant has access to his or her files at any time and can share them directly with others. Within the framework of the BYOD concept, there is no need to install a separate PC in the meeting room in order to be able to give presentations. Some BYOD presentation systems are equipped with touch-back functionality. This means you can control your laptop with touch gestures on your interactive display in the meeting room. However, video conferencing is not possible within the framework of BYOD.

Since you need to make use of various video conferencing tools in your everyday professional life, for example for internal hybrid meetings or conferences with external people, the BYOM concept is the most flexible way to hold video conferences smoothly at any time. You bring the meeting into the meeting room on your own laptop, but are not dependent on the integrated webcam and microphone.

When you now connect wirelessly to the presentation system, your laptop connects to the connected devices as if they were directly connected to the laptop.

Seamlessly integrated into the Microsoft ecosystem, Microsoft Teams Rooms provides a consistent and user-friendly meeting experience. This makes Microsoft Teams Rooms a reliable solution for fully integrated meeting rooms.
