Moderator Mode

Moderator Mode allows the moderator to take control of the devices connected to the ViewBoard or display. To enter Moderator Mode, select the Moderator Mode icon () located in the lower-right corner of the screen.

When enabled, the moderator can view a list of all connected screens in the left floating window and can preview each participant’s screen and then select any of participant’s screen and cast to the ViewBoard’s or display's main screen for presentation. The moderator can also control each participant’s screen, annotate on the ViewBoard or display, and remove unwanted participants by selecting the close icon (X).

Broadcast

When enabled, the ViewBoard’s or display's screen will be broadcasted to all of the participant’s connected screens simultaneously. The participants can only view the presentation contents until the moderator disables the Broadcast function.

Multiple Screen Sharing

By default, vCast Pro is set to allow multiple screen sharing, but can also be set to single screen sharing. To do this, the moderator can select the Multiple Screen Sharing icon to switch to single screen sharing.

Preview Screen

By default, vCast Pro is set to let the moderator preview the participant’s screen contents prior to sharing to the ViewBoard or display. Selecting the Preview Screen icon, the Moderator can switch to see the participant’s name only.

Touch

By default, participants can use touch for collaboration after connecting. The moderator can enable/disable the touch function of a participant by selecting the Touch icon in their window.

Annotate

Selecting the Annotate icon will list more annotation options:

	Move the Annotate toolbar on the screen.
	Choose colors for annotations.
	Clear annotations.
	Save screen annotations to .png format.

NOTE:

Moderator Mode is supported on all vCastSender and AirPlay devices, but mobile devices are limited to a "preview" function. Additionally, mobile Android devices cannot cast sound out.
When you cast your Windows/Mac/Chrome screen to a ViewBoard or display, the selected full screen unit will not be broadcasted back to your device to avoid repetitive screen casting.
The active presenter can touch each of the participant's screens to remotely control casting devices.
The number of multi-screen presenters on-screen depends on your Windows CPU processor performance and router specifications.
