Spaces

Spaces allow participants to screencast without the need for any proprietary dongles or software on their laptops. Moreover, multiple participants can cast at the same time with multi-participant views, further facilitating how any screen or a video wall in the Userful Visual Networking Platform can be used for collaboration.

While the display is not being used for collaboration, it can showcase signage content. It can be deployed in a fully air-gapped network environment to meet even the most stringent connectivity requirements.

Key Features

• Wireless Connectivity: Wirelessly connect to meeting rooms using the browser. No cable, dongle, proprietary hardware, or software is required for the participant.

• Screen casting: Screencast your devices in under 10 seconds.

• Background Signage Player: While the displays are not being used for meetings, signage content can be configured to playback.

• Multi-Casting: Enable increased collaboration by allowing multiple people to cast and compare content.

• Administration and Security: Managed user roles and permissions allow for access to corporate resources available on the platform to the right people while also allowing guests to use the displays for collaboration.

• Efficient Playback: Control frame rate and resolution for best viewability.
