Hello, thank you for your question. Wireless presentation can be indeed a bit confusing.
Actually you can cast in and out from different platforms: myViewBoard for Windows, and myViewBoard.com.

You can present your screen from Windows to our online plateforme and from the website to our Windows software.
For that, I may invite you to follow the steps on this webpage : https://wiki.myviewboard.com/Wireless_Presentation
They are also different video tutorials.

But the main steps are :

If you want to send your screen from myViewBoard to Windows to a host:

• Enable the casting tool (should turn green)
• Provide your ViewBoard name to your host
• The host should be signed-in on our website
• He should click on Receive a screen, enter his name and the ViewBoard Name (written on myViewBoard for Windows).

If you want to receive a screen on your ViewBoard for Windows, the steps are almost the same. But on the website you click on "Send your screen".

If you have other questions, please don't hesitate.

Best,
Juliette

Hi Warren,
Yes ClassRoom could be used during your physical classroom as well.
As I can imagine, it will be a great solutions for tour students to have a ChromeBook, a tablet, or a smartphone with a quite large screen. Like that, your students can still work in these "Huddle" groupe. This allows you to teach students in the same classroom as yours and the ones at home.

Do you know our Digital Whiteboard online solution ? This is almost the same as ClassRoom, beside the fact that there is no microphone or camera integrated. Maybe this would be the better choice if you only teacher students in the same room, and if there is no distance learning.

Have a nice day !
Juliette

Hi Warren !

Thank you for your question!
The way I understand it, is that you want to share your screen to sick students at home ? Is it correct ?
If so, I will recommend you first to use myViewBoard for Windows.
Then you have several options to share your screen :

• The student can receive your screen on his computer
  For this, te student needs to be signed in to myViewBoard.com, and then click "Receive a ViewBoard on your Screen" icon. You will need to cast you screen within myViewBoard for Windows. For this, click the cast icon, and your student's name will appear, click on it and his name will turn green. And he'll receive your screen directly.

• Do a LiveStream
  Within myViewBoard for Windows, you also can broadcast your screen on YouTube or Facebook. With privacy settings, it's possible to deliver access only to your students.

• Sharing a myViewBoard session with messaging app
  With this, share your screen to your students, via other app such as Skype, Zoom etc ...

Hope this helps. if you need more details, please let me know.
Have a nice day !
