ONLY USE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IF QUICK START GUIDE DOES NOT WORK
1. Select AirPlay from the podium control unit. Make sure your computer’s WiFi is connected to JASPERNET. This new system allows you to present any mobile device. You can still connect to AirPlay the same way as before. AirParrot does not work with AirPlay, so AirParrot users should use this method to connect, while Mac users can use the previous way of connecting.
2. Open a web browser and in the address bar enter the Room Name as indicated in the VIA GO splash screen.
3. Once the Room Name is entered, you will see the screen below. Select Install VIA and it will proceed to download the install file. Run the install file and follow the included instructions to complete the installation.
4. Once the installation is complete, you will be able to run the VIA application on your computer.
Hint: Once the app is installed, you do not need to follow Steps 2-3 again.
5. Open the VIA app. You will be prompted with this login screen. Enter the Room Name again and a nick name for your device. Make this a name that will easily identify who is presenting. After selecting Login, then you will be asked to enter a four digit code, which will appear on the screen. When you are ready to present, select Present on the menu that appears. You can see who else is participating in the presentation by selecting Participants. A maximum of 2 devices may be displayed at once for VIA and AirPlay connections.
Hint: You can only present using AirPlay on one device only.
