InstaShare

Mirror your screen in one tap.

InstaShare for Android sets out to solve that age-old problem every teacher and presenter knows too well: the tangle of HDMI cables, searching for adapters, and wasting time before every lesson and meeting. The BenQ Board companion app transforms your phone into a wireless remote that mirrors the screen directly to BenQ interactive flat panels, with no need for dongles to fumble with under the desk.

Once you connect your Android device to a compatible BenQ interactive flat panel, the screen will be displayed immediately. The app connects phones, tablets, and even streams to PCs all in the same session. Without rewiring anything, teachers can easily pass control from student to student, and meeting rooms can transition between presenters in seconds, not minutes.

Using the software is simple. Just open the application, select your BenQ monitor, and hit connect. Your slides, documents, photos or even your browser show up on the panel in no time. A classroom outfitted with BenQ hardware incorporates these cableless handoffs in their daily workflow.

Watch Full HD stream without wires.

InstaShare does not simply mirror slides.

It wirelessly streams audio and Full HD videos so you can play training clips, YouTube explainers or music files without any plug-ins. The connection holds up with high-quality media, making the practical in-session heavy with multimedia HDMI would mainly be necessary.

This screen mirroring for teachers means you can walk around the room with your tablet while a documentary plays on the panel, or pull a Khan Academy video from your phone mid-lesson. The app claims to be a wireless alternative to VGA and HDMI for education and business environments that use BenQ Boards.

Manage class materials in real-time.

In addition to mirroring, InstaShare enables you to control what’s on the panel.
