Barco, the world’s leading provider of professional meeting room visualization and collaboration solutions, has released a major software upgrade for its ClickShare product line, which now features smart meeting flows for wireless conferencing. The software upgrade provides a series of capabilities that make hosting hybrid meetings from a laptop a highly straightforward experience, taking ClickShare to the next level of simplicity. There’s no muss, no fuss, and no angst.
Designed to make hybrid meetings run more smoothly.
The frequency and number of meetings has progressively increased over the years, making it a business priority for many companies to initiate and organize effective meetings. Barco recognizes this requirement and is introducing a new ClickShare user experience for Button and App that allows running hybrid meetings from a laptop as simple as dialing a phone number.
ClickShare meets the desire for more meeting inclusion and gives meeting hosts and users more confidence with an innovative collection of capabilities for a better meeting flow. Our intent-based technology makes meetings smarter and more intuitive for participants, reducing stress and addressing four of the most common hybrid meeting challenges: powering up the meeting room, connecting the laptop to room audio and video devices, joining a meeting from a calendar, and keeping track of content and people while hosting a hybrid meeting from the meeting room.
Meet with self-assurance and fairness.
PresentSense, HostFlow, One-Click-Join, and ConferenceView are all features of ClickShare smart meeting flows that fully automate and enrich the meeting flow for users in the room, making each hybrid meeting a highly intuitive, stress-free experience.
As users walk into the meeting room with their laptop, ClickShare automatically connects to the meeting room using the PresentSense ultrasound proximity detection. With HostFlow users can start a conference from their laptop with ease, as the ClickShare App automatically guides them as meeting host or participant. And with just a single click (One-Click-Join), users can start the meeting from their personal calendar.
Finally, the new ConferenceView feature eliminates the most inconvenient aspect of today’s hybrid meetings: maintaining the meeting host’s overview. Without the requirement for a dual-screen configuration, you may host the meeting from your laptop, share your presentation, and maintain track of both the contents and the participants’ video on the meeting room display, side by side.
Furthermore, as the meeting host, you have the option of sharing full screen or just an application window, while keeping your laptop screen private for taking notes. As a result, if you choose to Bring Your Own Device, your laptop will be used for more than just hosting video chats, and as a host, you will have the freedom to work as you see fit.
There are numerous integration possibilities available.
Barco adds digital signage to ClickShare’s integration capabilities, giving businesses an easy-to-use and cost-effective way to broadcast general or customized information to visitors and employees in the workplace, such as welcome messages, news, social feeds, and customized and branded content. Customers may maximize their meeting room technology investment and boost the ROI of their meeting spaces by integrating ClickShare signage. Signagelive, Seenspire, and Korbyt, three digital signage partners, have just joined the ClickShare alliance program, offering more integration capabilities.
