Modified on Thu, 20 Jun at 9:21 AM

1. Take a Button and Insert the Button into a USB port of your laptop. Depending on the USB port on your laptop and/or on the USB connector of the Button, a convertor must be used. This convertor is not delivered by Barco. The LEDs of the Button start flashing white. On your laptop a new drive appears. Two situations are possible now: 
- A launcher is preinstalled on your laptop (downloaded from the Base Unit or Barco website, or deployed company-wide by your IT department). ClickShare is immediately available. You can continue with.
- nothing is pre-installed. Continue with step 2.

2. Browse to and double-click the ClickShare drive on your laptop.

3. Double-click the ClickShare application. When the system is ready for use, a message appears close to the systray icon. The LEDs of the Button are static white.

4. To share your screen on the display, click the Button. The LEDs of the Button become static red and your screen appears on the display. When audio is enabled on the ClickShare Base Unit, the audio of your laptop is also available on the audio output of the Base Unit and on the HDMI output, and it will be played via the meeting room audio system. The icon returns to the same state as in step 3. In the system tray, the ClickShare icon starts rotating. On Windows computers the icon changes into . The name of the user logged on to the laptop which is sharing its content is briefly shown in the bottom left corner of the added content. ClickShare automatically scales the content of your screen to the resolution of the meeting room display. The aspect ratio of your screen is maintained to make sure the proportions are correct.

5. To remove your content from the display, click the Button again. The LEDs of the Button become static white.

6. When leaving the meeting room, unplug the Button from your laptop. No trace of the ClickShare application is left on your laptop.
