How to choose ClickShare for a meeting room or conference hall

This material is based on official information from Barco.

ClickShare is Barco's wireless presentation system: a meeting participant connects a laptop via a button, an app, or built-in AirPlay/Miracast, and their screen appears on the meeting-room display instantly, with no cables and no switching inputs. Which model to pick depends on room size, number of participants, and whether video-conferencing integration is required.

A small meeting room for 2 to 6 people

For a compact room with a single screen and no complex AV setup, a base Present-line model is enough: simple wireless laptop-to-display connection, minimal configuration, and a quick payback from cutting the time people spend hooking up a laptop at the start of a meeting.

A meeting room with video calls

If the room hosts Teams, Zoom or other calls, what matters is not just screen sharing but also having the room's camera, microphone and speakers pick up automatically on the presenter's laptop without manual switching. That calls for a Conference-line model, which hands both the presentation and the video-conferencing peripherals to the user's laptop over a single connection, removing the separate step of configuring camera and audio before every call.

A large conference hall or multi-screen room

Rooms with many participants, multiple displays, or a need to show several sources at once call for a higher-capacity model with multi-stream support. It is also worth planning the network ahead of time: ClickShare runs over Wi-Fi or wired network, and a hall seating dozens of people needs its own dedicated network to avoid interference and bandwidth issues.

Other things to weigh

• How many sources need to be on screen at once, a single presenter or a split screen among several participants.
• Fit with corporate security policy: network integration, centralised device management through an admin console.
• Whether an existing video-conferencing system needs to be integrated rather than replaced.

At Infra Technologies we choose the ClickShare model based on how a room is actually used, not its nominal capacity. A small meeting room with heavy video-call use often needs a more capable model than a large hall used only for occasional presentations.
