In the modern workplace, the ability to share ideas quickly and seamlessly is essential for productive collaboration. As organisations embrace hybrid work models, the need for intuitive, reliable presentation and conferencing technology has never been more critical. At THINK, we’re proud to offer Barco ClickShare, an innovative wireless collaboration solution that transforms how teams connect, share content, and collaborate across physical and virtual environments.
Understanding the Barco ClickShare Advantage
Barco ClickShare stands at the forefront of wireless collaboration technology, offering an elegant, button-based approach to content sharing that eliminates the frustration of cables, adapters, and complicated setup procedures. The concept behind ClickShare is brilliantly simple: plug the ClickShare Button into your laptop, press the button, and instantly share your screen with meeting room displays.
What truly distinguishes ClickShare is its platform-agnostic nature and flexibility. Unlike proprietary solutions tied to specific video conferencing services, ClickShare works seamlessly with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and virtually any conferencing platform your organisation may use. This versatility ensures your meeting rooms remain adaptable and future-proof as technology evolves.
The ClickShare Product Family: Solutions for Every Space
Barco offers a comprehensive range of ClickShare products designed to address the specific needs of different meeting environments:
ClickShare CX Range: Wireless Conferencing Excellence
The ClickShare CX range is specifically designed for hybrid meetings, seamlessly connecting your laptop to the room’s audio and video equipment for effortless video conferencing. Key models include:
- CX-20: Perfect for huddle spaces and small meeting rooms, offering full BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) capability with minimal setup.
- CX-30: Ideal for standard meeting rooms, with enhanced security features and centralised management options.
- CX-50: Designed for larger conference rooms, featuring premium audio and video quality with advanced collaboration tools.
ClickShare Conference: True BYOM Flexibility
The ClickShare Conference range revolutionises the Bring Your Own Meeting (BYOM) concept, allowing users to host video conferences from their personal devices while leveraging the room’s superior audio and video equipment. This approach creates more equitable hybrid meeting experiences, as remote participants benefit from professional-grade AV quality rather than laptop-quality video and audio.
ClickShare Present: Simplified Content Sharing
For teams focused primarily on in-room content sharing rather than video conferencing, the ClickShare Present range offers streamlined presentation capabilities:
- C-5: Entry-level wireless presentation for small spaces and basic sharing needs.
- C-10: Enhanced features for standard meeting rooms, supporting multiple simultaneous presenters.
Key Features of ClickShare: Transforming the Meeting Experience
Barco ClickShare incorporates numerous innovative features that elevate the collaboration experience:
1. Intuitive Button or App-Based Sharing
The iconic ClickShare Button provides a tactile, one-click solution for content sharing, while the complementary ClickShare App offers additional functionality for users who prefer a software approach. Both options deliver the same seamless experience, ensuring everyone can share content without technical barriers.
2. Advanced Audio Management
ClickShare’s intelligent audio routing ensures crystal-clear sound during presentations and video calls. When used with the CX range, automatic echo cancellation and audio optimisation create natural conversation flow between in-room and remote participants.
3. Enterprise-Grade Security
ClickShare is built with security at its core, featuring:
- ISO27001 certification
- Regular security updates
- End-to-end encryption
- Integration with existing network security protocols
This comprehensive security framework makes ClickShare a trusted solution for organisations with stringent data protection requirements.
4. Centralised Management
The ClickShare Management Suite allows IT teams to remotely monitor, manage, and update all ClickShare units across the organisation from a single interface, streamlining maintenance and ensuring consistent performance.
5. Digital Signage Functionality
When not being used for meetings, ClickShare devices can display digital signage content, maximising the utility of your meeting room displays and enhancing internal communications.
