Using EShare

You can wirelessly share images, videos, or your computer or mobile device’s desktop, to the device.

 

Notes 

  • EShare is a third-party application. SMART’s support for this application may vary depending on the inquiry.

  • Make sure your computer or mobile device is connected to the same network as the display.

  • Some EShare features are not available for certain mobile devices or computers.

  • If you're using AirPlay to connect your macOS or iOS device to the display's EShare app, the Connect Code that appears on the display's screen might be in a format that's not compatible with the connect code required by your device. In such cases, download, install, and use the EShare app for your device (see Downloading the EShare app).

  • There are a few limitations to using EShare with Miracast connections. To learn about the limitations (and the work-arounds), see the Limitations of using EShare with Miracast Knowledge base article.
