NOTE:

ViewBoard® Cast software, laptops, and mobile devices can connect to both the same subnet and cross subnet by entering the on-screen PIN code.
Connected devices will show up under Device List on the same subnet connection.
If the device does not show up under Device List, users will need to key-in the on-screen PIN code.

When the “Synchronized group screen all the time” function is toggled ON, it will display a synchronized group screen continuously. If it is toggled OFF, it will work on vCast mirroring only.

NOTE: Select the devices to group first, then toggle the "Synchronized group screen all the time” function ON to avoid interruption.

Share a Screen to the Display Group (One to Many Casting)

After confirming the above settings, you can share your screen to the main display, then the grouped client devices will be synced up to your screen.

Moderator Mode

Moderator Mode allows the moderator to take control of the devices connected to the ViewBoard. 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 main screen for presentation. The moderator can also control each participant’s screen, annotate on the ViewBoard, and remove unwanted participants by selecting the close icon (X).

Broadcast

When enabled, the ViewBoard’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 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 is set to let the moderator preview the participant’s screen contents prior to sharing to the ViewBoard. 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.

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, 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.
