      New Homepage

      Webcasting

      Users can now easily share their screen’s content to InstaShare 2 without being on the same Wi-Fi network (can cast remotely) as the display or requiring InstaShare 2 to be installed on their device. They can now browse to a URL, enter the pairing code under Webcasting (shown from the board), and cast.

      To find out how to use Webcasting, click HERE.

      Note: Webcasting is disabled by default; to use webcasting, enable it in the InstaShare 2 settings on the display under Settings > Advanced > Native casting.

      Remote Keyboard

      Users can now type with a keyboard plugged into the display to edit content on their device when using device-to-board mode (Casting). When using board-to-device (Mirroring), if the host allows touchback permission, users can use their device’s keyboard to edit content on the display.

       

      Multi-miracast P2P

      Users can now display up to 4 Miracast screens simultaneously on the BenQ Board RP04, RM04, RE04, and Pantone® Validated Signage SL04 and SH04.

      Portrait Mode

      Supports signage mode in portrait orientation with a maximum of 2 split screens, along with a remote controller.
