Airtame Go is the entry point for fixing that — starting at €299 per screen.

Here’s a plain-English breakdown of what it is, what it does well, and where Airtame 3 is the better call.

What Airtame Go actually is

Airtame Go is the combination of proven Amazon commercial display hardware and an Airtame Core software license — bundled into one product, managed from one dashboard, at the lowest price point per screen on a 3-year term.

The Amazon Signage Stick inside is built for 24/7 continuous operation: stable, reliable, and thermally designed for the kind of always-on environments schools and workplaces actually run. Airtame’s software sits on top of that hardware and turns it into a fully managed screen — one you control remotely, update automatically, and monitor from anywhere.

What it does well

Screen sharing from any device. Windows, macOS, Chromebook, iOS, Android — Airtame Go handles them all without cables, extra dongles, or driver installations. Users share from the Airtame app or directly from a browser at airtame.com/go. Fewer IT tickets and a lot less friction.

Digital signage and emergency alerts, centrally managed. Update signage playlists across every screen in the building from Airtame Cloud — without touching a single device. Emergency alerts broadcast campus-wide in seconds. Reboot schedules, sleep timers, and firmware updates run automatically in the background.

Real IT time savings. IT teams using Airtame have reported going from roughly two hours of screen-related support per day down to around fifteen minutes per week. The reson? Central management. Mass operations — such as configuration changes, updates, monitoring — happen from one place rather than room by room.

4K resolution. Screen sharing and signage both run at full 4K.

Where it’s the right fit — and where it isn’t

Airtame Go is best for schools and organizations that need reliable screen sharing, digital signage, and cloud management at the most accessible price point in the Airtame lineup. It’s a particularly natural step for teams already running Airtame 2 who want to expand or replace without a full platform change.

A few honest caveats worth knowing before you buy:

Network setup: Ethernet is recommended and the adapter is included. Airtame Go supports personal WiFi (WPA/WPA2/WPA3-Personal), not enterprise WiFi networks (WPA2/3-Enterprise). For organizations running enterprise network authentication, a wired connection is the way to go.

No video conferencing. Airtame Go covers screen sharing and signage. If you need built-in video conferencing, Airtame 3 Hybrid is the right product.

No dual screen support. Single display only.

If your rooms need enterprise WiFi, video conferencing, or dual screens, look at Airtame 3.

What happens after the 3-year license

We know this one matters for a lot of our customers. When the Airtame Core license expires, screen sharing and basic remote management stay active. You’re not left with what’s sometimes called a ‘brick’; an unusable piece of hardware. That’s a meaningful difference from competing products that go dark when subscriptions lapse or where you have to return hardware — and it significantly reduces the procurement risk for organizations with long planning horizons.

The bottom line

Airtame Go is for schools and workplaces that want screens to work — reliably, centrally managed, and without a support burden — at the most affordable entry point in the Airtame platform.

If that matches your brief, take a look at Airtame Go for education or Airtame Go for business.

The post Airtame Go webinar recap: affordable screen sharing and signage for every room appeared first on Airtame.

Copenhagen, Denmark — April 21, 2026 — Airtame, the Danish company behind the platform that makes screens easy to use in schools and workplaces, today announced the launch of Airtame Go — a new addition to its growing product portfolio designed to bring the full Airtame experience to more spaces, at a significantly lower price point.

Airtame Go delivers wireless screen sharing, digital signage, emergency alerts, and remote device management all through the Airtame platform — the same software that powers Airtame deployments across thousands of schools and organizations worldwide.

For education, Airtame Go offers a fast, cost-effective path to connected classrooms and open spaces. Teachers can share wirelessly from any device. Digital signage keeps hallways and common areas current. Emergency alerts keep campuses safe. And IT admins manage every screen from Airtame Cloud — remotely, at scale, without touching a single device on-site.

For business, the same capabilities translate directly to meeting rooms, reception areas, and shared workspaces. Airtame Go gives IT teams a manageable, centrally controlled entry point into the Airtame platform, with the option to expand capability as needs grow.

Screen technology made even more accessible

The launch of Airtame Go reflects a broader evolution in how Airtame thinks about screen technology. Where traditional AV vendors lead with hardware, Airtame’s strength has always been its platform: a single cloud-based system that lets IT teams deploy, manage, and update every screen in their environment — regardless of what’s behind the display.

“Most organizations already have screens. What they’re missing is a consistent, manageable experience across all of them. That’s what Airtame provides — and Airtame Go makes it easier and more affordable than ever to get started.” said Jonas Gyalokay, Co-Founder of Airtame.

Airtame hardware is not a prerequisite for the Airtame experience. Virtual Airtame, the company’s software tier, runs on supported Windows and Android-based displays, bringing any compatible screen into a single, centrally managed environment. The result is a unified experience across an organization’s entire screen fleet, whatever hardware it runs on. For rooms that require full video conferencing capability, Airtame 3 and/or a Hybrid software license is the natural next step.

Since announcing Airtame 3 in December 2025, we’ve been on the road. FETC, TCEA, IETA — show after show, we’ve had the chance to meet hundreds of partners and customers face to face and hear what’s actually on their minds. ISE was the crescendo. We came home with a clearer read on where the industry is heading, two awards we’re genuinely proud of, and a lot to think about.

Let’s get into it.

What the show floor was telling us

1. The end user is finally at the center

Across booths and conversations at ISE and at every stop on the road this season, the same question kept coming up: does it actually work for the person in the room? That mindset was everywhere, and we feel it’s long overdue. We’ve built our entire platform around it, so it was good to see the rest of the industry catching up. Though Jonas Gyalokay, our Co-founder, will be the first to raise an eyebrow at how long it’s taken. “It’s encouraging to see the conversation shift,” he said, “but the gap between saying ‘experience first’ and actually delivering it is still wider than it should be. That’s exactly where we’ve always played.”

2. BYOD is having a real moment

BYOD (bring your own device) isn’t a new idea. But the demand for setups that truly support it without workarounds or restrictions was louder than what we’ve heard before. People are done tolerating room tech that only plays nicely with one operating system or one approved laptop model. Oh, and when we say BYOD, we of course mean wireless BYOD.

Airtame has been hardware-agnostic and platform-agnostic since day one. We support AirPlay, Miracast, Google Cast, and our own app — so whoever walks into the room, whatever they’re carrying, it just works. That’s not a new message from us, but it’s becoming the message the whole industry is converging on. One press outlet covering the show called our booth “the zeitgeist of the moment.” We’ll take it.

The awards

We came home with two recognitions we’re very proud of. Not because awards are the point, but because they reflect something real.

Jonas put it simply: “Winning recognition at ISE is meaningful, of course it is. But what I’m most proud of is that both awards reflect what we’ve always cared about; making screen tech that actually works for the people using it. That’s the only metric that matters to us.”

Until next time

ISE 2026 reinforced something we already believed: the industry is moving toward simplicity, openness, and putting people before hardware. To us, that’s not a trend, but how we build our product.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booths, shared feedback, asked tough questions, or simply wanted to see Airtame 3 in action. We’re just getting started, and we’re looking forward to what the rest of the year brings.

These screens could be doing so much more.

Done right, digital signage is a powerful internal comms tool. It helps people stay informed, aligned, and connected across locations. It cuts through the noise of crowded inboxes. It makes spaces feel alive, not static. So how to get it right? Making it as easy to manage as it is to watch.

The missed opportunity

Most businesses already have the physical infrastructure: the displays, the internet connection, the wall space. But the content strategy — and the tools to support it — often lag behind.

You see it in:

None of this is intentional. Often, it’s simply because the signage system isn’t flexible or user-friendly enough to keep things current. When updating a screen involves USB drives, on-site uploads, or specialist tools, most people just stop bothering.

What modern digital signage looks like in action

The goal isn’t to turn your office into Times Square. It’s to make communication clearer, smoother, and more visible. Here are a few ways signage actually supports your business:

1. Wayfinding and first impressions

A guest walks into your office. Instead of seeing a blank screen or looping logo, they’re greeted with a dynamic floor map and clear signage showing where to go. Meeting rooms are color-coded and schedules are up to date. Nobody has to ask reception which floor they’re on — they already know.

On day one, a new employee sees a screen welcoming them by name and photo. It sets the tone for their experience and makes the space feel human, not corporate.

2. Culture and communication

Screens aren’t just for top-down updates. They’re for moments of connection.

A birthday screen lights up in the morning. A rotating message celebrates your team’s latest milestone. You walk into the break room and spot a screen showing the lunch menu or reminding you of Friday’s social event. These little touches build culture and help people feel part of something — especially in hybrid environments where not everyone is online at the same time.

3. Live data and productivity tools

When signage pulls live content from tools your teams already use, it becomes a natural part of the workflow.

A marketing dashboard on the wall shows campaign progress in real time. A Trello board on display gives managers instant visibility into project status. A world clock helps teams plan across time zones before jumping on a call. These aren’t bells and whistles — they’re quiet boosts to productivity, visibility, and autonomy.

4. Timely, contextual updates

You’re packing up to leave when you notice the screen near the elevator shows rain on the way. You grab an umbrella.

Or a screen in the hallway displays an emergency alert or IT downtime notice, updated instantly across every floor. With digital signage, relevant information reaches people at the right time, in the right place — without relying on email, chat, or manual distribution.

Digital signage isn’t for decorational purposes (only). It informs. It welcomes. It celebrates. It warns. It reminds. And when it updates in real time, it becomes a source of live information everyone can rely on.

Choosing a setup that doesn’t add friction

A good signage solution should be more than flexible. It should be effortless for the one managing the screens as well as for the viewer.

That means:

Whatever you want to show, it doesn’t require IT intervention. That’s the point.

Wrapping up

Digital signage isn’t just a nice-to-have in a modern workplace. When it’s used right, it becomes a quiet but constant tool for communication. It reinforces priorities. It helps teams feel informed. And it makes the office feel more connected and dynamic — without adding more to anyone’s to-do list.

If you’re ready to make better use of the screens you already have, we’re happy to help.

The post Airtame 3 launch recap: one device for every shared screen appeared first on Airtame.

We sat down with Jonas Gyalokay, co-founder of Airtame, to talk about how the industry got here, what needs to change, and why unifying the experience across screens might be one of the most overlooked opportunities in modern workplaces and schools.

Q: You’ve been working with shared-screen technology for more than a decade. How has the industry changed since Airtame started?

Jonas: In some ways, everything has changed. Wi-Fi standards evolved, BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) became the norm, hybrid work reshaped the expectations for meeting rooms. Schools put more technology into classrooms. Screens became the center of so many workflows.

But in other ways, nothing has changed at all. The industry is still super fragmented. A lot of rooms still rely on cables, adapters, or legacy devices. Even large enterprises run completely different systems in rooms that sit right next to each other. Or they exclude visitors from joining with their own devices. People still waste time figuring out how to present or start a call.

It’s a bit ironic. We have more screens than ever, yet they don’t work together in any cohesive way. That gap is what keeps us motivated.

Q: You’ve said before that Airtame stands for “putting people before screens.” What does that mean in practice?

Jonas: It means two things. First, very literally, it’s about enabling people to walk into a room and get their content onto the screen without friction. The screen should serve them, not the other way around.

Second, it’s philosophical. Screens are tools. People are the purpose. A school doesn’t invest in technology because the screen is interesting. They do it because students need to focus, collaborate, and learn. The same goes for workplaces. If the tech slows you down, it’s not doing its job.

When we design Airtame, we always start with the person walking into the room. What are they trying to accomplish? What typically gets in their way? That is always the starting point for us.

Q: Customers now say Airtame “just works,” even that it’s “brilliantly simple.” That hasn’t always been the case. What changed?

Jonas: In the early days we learned a lot the hard way. It took years to build a wireless technology that works across every network condition and on every device type — and that works every time.

Today, we hear a very different story. People tell us they cut hours of work each week because they no longer troubleshoot meeting rooms. IT teams tell us their ticket volume drops. Teachers tell us they can finally start class on time.

The turning point was treating reliability as a product in itself. Not a feature within the device, or an add-on nice-to-have. But a core requirement. When something in a shared space “just works,” people stop thinking about the technology. That is the highest compliment I can think of.

Q: The industry still feels fragmented, with separate tools for screen sharing, video conferencing, digital signage, and emergency alerts. Why is it like that?

Jonas: Because nobody ever defined the category. We have clear categories for “video conferencing software” or “digital signage CMS” or “wireless presentation tools.” But no category for the thing most organizations actually need: a unified platform for shared screens.

Right now, customers stitch together solutions. So they have one device for presenting. Another thing for signage. Another for video sessions. Sometimes another for alerts, if they need that. It’s messy, very expensive, and more importantly inconsistent.

Airtame doesn’t fit neatly into one of those old categories because we do all of it. We focus on what people actually do in rooms rather than what the industry historically called each product type. Over time, I think this will become its own category. It should. Workplaces and the people in them need it.

Q: Many companies lock themselves into one OS or one ecosystem. Airtame chose the opposite path. Why?

Jonas: From a business perspective, locking into a single ecosystem is attractive. It gives you control, reduced maintenance, and often a clear audience. But it’s also exclusive. And it increases fragmentation.

Many offices today don’t run on one type of device only. Schools certainly don’t. People bring what they have. If you design for only one OS or hardware path, you make it easy for a few — at the expense of many. You’re also making IT’s life significantly harder.

Openness is not the easiest route. But it is the right one. The world will not become less diverse in terms of devices and preferences. Unifying the experience across them is a more important challenge than adding to the fragmentation.

Q: Looking ahead, what do you think the future of shared screens looks like?

Jonas: I think we’re entering a phase where screens stop being “endpoints” and start becoming part of a larger, ambient layer of information. The hardware will keep improving, sure, but the real transformation will be in the infrastructure that ties everything together. Right now, every workflow lives in its own silo. One tool for presenting. One for signage. One for video calls. One for alerts. The future is a shared layer that connects all of it.

When you walk into a room, the screen should already understand the context. Not in a sci-fi sense, but in a practical one. It should know whether the space is being used for a lesson, a meeting, or a presentation. It should adjust to that mode without anyone having to hunt for the right input or app. I see screens becoming more adaptive, more integrated with their surroundings.

Another shift is virtualization. Not every room will need a physical device. Many screens already have enough built-in compute to run a platform like ours without external hardware. Others will soon. That gives IT more freedom. It also means the intelligence of the room isn’t tied to a box in the corner but to a service that can flex with your environment.

We’ll also see screens playing a bigger role in safety and situational awareness. Alerts, instructions, and real-time communication will move from “nice to have” to “expected.” That requires a unified system. You can’t have one tool for signage and another for critical information.

And then there’s language. Right now we still talk about “digital signage” and “wireless presentation” like it’s 2005. These are outdated categories. People don’t think in those terms anymore. They think: “I need to show something on the screen,” or “this room needs to support any call,” or “we need to keep people informed.” The industry will eventually catch up with that reality. I think there will be a new category — maybe we’ll help define it — that covers everything people actually do with shared screens. Because the way we use screens has outgrown the words we have for them.

Q: If you had to summarize Airtame’s long-term mission in one line, what would it be?

Jonas: Screens should support the flow of collaboration with as little friction as possible. That’s my statement.

If you get the underlying platform right, everything else becomes easier. If you don’t, every room will always feel slightly different, slightly confusing, slightly unreliable. And people deserve better than that.

If we can do that at scale and make it feel simple in the process, we’ll have done something meaningful.

Ready to learn more?

Shared screens are no longer passive surfaces. They’re part of how organizations communicate, collaborate, and keep people connected. But the systems behind them have not kept up.

Airtame’s approach — unified, open, and people-first — challenges the assumptions that created the fragmented landscape we see today. And as Jonas reminds us, the category for all of this may not have a name yet, but the need is already here.

If you’re exploring how to bring more clarity and cohesion to the screens you already have, we’d be happy to help.

That’s where remote screen management comes in. Whether you’re overseeing five rooms or five hundred, a remote platform helps you control, update, and monitor every screen in your ecosystem — without walking the halls or jumping on site.

The silent burden of on-site screen support

Most IT teams have better things to do than deal with screen issues — but still, they do. A meeting room screen freezes mid-call. A lobby display is still stuck on last week’s announcements. Someone emails IT to ask, “Can you restart the third-floor TV?” These may seem minor, but the tickets and time spent on them add up quickly.

In many offices, managing screens still means:

What remote management should really do

A remote screen management solution shouldn’t just let you see what’s going wrong. It should let you stay ahead of it. A good platform gives IT teams full visibility and control from wherever they are. Here’s what that looks like:

Who benefits — and how

Remote management may live in IT’s toolbox, but its value goes far beyond IT. Here’s who benefits:

What to look for in a remote screen management platform

When evaluating solutions, focus on what will actually make life easier — and future-proof your investment. Look for:

Why this matters more as you scale

With a few rooms and a small team, you can sometimes get by without a system in place. But that stops working when you: Open a second office, support a hybrid work model with fluctuating meeting patterns, adopt shared spaces or hot desking, or simply have to add more screens for signage, not just meetings.

The reality is that the more complex your environment becomes, the more critical it is to have a central command center — one that doesn’t require you to physically babysit your hardware.

A remote management platform ensures that no matter how many locations or screens you add, your setup stays manageable. It also reduces reliance on tribal knowledge — those “only Anna knows how to fix that screen” situations — and helps future-proof your operations.

Wrapping up

Remote screen management is not about avoiding certain tasks. Instead, it’s making your office tech infrastructure more resilient, responsive, and ready to scale. What you get in return is a lot of saved time, streamlined operations, and help to get more from your meeting rooms, signage, and shared spaces.

If your team is still relying on manual updates and hallway walks to keep screens running, there’s a better way, truly. Start with a single screen. Or your biggest floor. Or that office you only visit once a quarter.

We’ll help you bring it all into one place.

Watch the full interview with Simon here.

Q: Let’s start simple. What is Airtame 3, in your own words?

Simon: Airtame 3 is the most powerful and versatile device we’ve ever made. It supports the full Airtame experience — screen sharing, video conferencing, digital signage, emergency alerts, and remote management — all in a compact form factor. What makes it special is how much performance we’ve packed into such a small, flexible device. We’ve had hardware that could do it all before, but never quite like this, not with this level of speed, responsiveness, and ease of deployment.

Q: Why was now the right time to launch a new generation?

Simon: Our previous hardware — Airtame 2 and Hub — served different needs. But over time, we saw customers wanting more out of a single device. The need for speed, simplicity, and long-term stability kept coming up. And frankly, the market has also matured a lot. People expect seamless 4K sharing, super fast boot times, dual-screen support, and easy fleet management. Airtame 3 is our answer to that, and a way to unify our hardware offering to make it simple for everyone to choose the right setup.

Q: What’s the biggest technical leap forward?

Simon: Performance. It’s powered by a quad-core 3.4GHz processor and 4GB of LPDDR5 RAM, which lets it handle everything from signage to conferencing with ease. But specs aren’t the story. It’s about what the performance unlocks: loading digital signage in under a second, joining a call in less than two seconds, 4K screen sharing with zero stutter. You truly feel the difference and it gives us room to keep adding new functionality.

We also made big upgrades to connectivity. You get flexible powering with PoE+ built in, plus a USB-C port that can power the device and connect it to a display over a single cable. And if you’re not using PoE or USB-C, we still include a power supply in the box.

Q: So it’s faster, but what else is new?

Simon: We’ve added some powerful features for IT teams. First, zero-touch deployment: you can scan a QR code on the box to pre-claim devices to your Airtame Cloud organization before even powering them on. Just plug them in, and they configure themselves.

Second, Bluetooth setup makes getting devices online much easier. You send Wi-Fi credentials over Bluetooth from the Cloud, which means you don’t have to jump between networks and you don’t need the Airtame app. That said, we always recommend using Ethernet for the most stable connection.

And third, dual-screen support. With two HDMI ports, you can now mirror content across displays or split the view during video calls — like having participants on one screen and shared content on the other.

Q: What kind of customer benefits most from Airtame 3?

Simon: There are really two kinds of customers we’re seeing. First, there’s the Airtame user who’s ready to upgrade or expand their setup. Airtame 3 brings faster performance, a smoother UX, and support for the latest features, all while fitting right into their existing fleet. And since it’s our most recent hardware, it offers the longest runway for what’s coming next.

Then there are the new customers coming in with more complex needs. Think large campuses, hybrid workplaces, or anyone who wants signage, video calls, and screen sharing to work seamlessly across a variety of rooms and devices. Airtame 3 is perfect for that because it’s agnostic by design — it doesn’t care what laptop or platform someone brings into the room. Set it up, and it works for end users.

Q: Is Airtame 3 replacing the other devices?

Simon: Not immediately, and not across the board. From a portfolio perspective, Airtame 3 will replace both Airtame 2 and Airtame Hub as our go-to hardware offering. But that doesn’t mean we’re dropping support. We’ll continue to maintain and update our existing devices — and just as importantly, we’re investing heavily in Virtual Airtame to give customers even more flexibility across different screen types and setups.

Virtual is ideal for displays that already have attached or built-in computing power, like smart displays, OPS modules, or even general-purpose devices. You can install it remotely, manage it through Airtame Cloud, and use it alongside physical devices like Airtame 3. That mix-and-match flexibility is really important to IT teams rolling out Airtame across larger campuses or different screen types.

So yes, Airtame 3 is our most powerful hardware yet. But it’s also part of a broader platform that allows customers to enable screen sharing, signage, conferencing and emergency alerts on ALL their displays, without breaking the bank.

Q: Any final thoughts as Airtame 3 rolls out into the world?

Simon: I just think it’s going to make a lot of people’s lives a little easier, and that’s what we’ve always aimed for. With Airtame 3, we’ve packed in so much power, but it still feels simple. That’s the part I’m proudest of. If you’ve been following us for a while, I think you’ll feel it right away. And if you’re new to Airtame, this is a great place to start. Can’t wait to hear what you think.

These small moments of friction might seem harmless. But they add up fast; they waste time, stall collaboration, and send a subtle message: your workplace tech isn’t working for you.

Wireless screen sharing changes that. Say goodbye to adapters and HDMI roulette. Instead, you get easy content sharing from any device, so meetings start when they’re supposed to and people stay focused.

What is wireless screen sharing?

Wireless screen sharing lets you present from your laptop, phone, or tablet without plugging in a single cable. You connect over WiFi, tap a button, and your content shows up on the big screen — slides, spreadsheets, browser tabs, you name it.

The magic happens through a receiver (usually a small device or built-in app) connected to the meeting room display. It handles the connection between your device and the screen without the need for special drivers on your device or any other AV tech.

Some solutions only cater to one wireless standard, while modern screen sharing solutions (like Airtame) support all common wireless standards like AirPlay (Apple), Miracast (Windows/Android), and Google Cast (Chrome devices). That means anyone can share, no matter what device they walk in with. That’s key for organizations with BYOD (bring your own device) setups — and for places with a lot of visitors.

Screen mirroring vs casting

Both mirroring and casting let you share content to a screen, but they do it in slightly different ways:

Native protocols: AirPlay, Miracast, and Google Cast

Most wireless screen sharing runs on one (or more) of three main technologies. Think of them like different “languages” your devices speak when talking to the screen.

Why wireless screen sharing boosts meeting room productivity

You don’t need a degree in IT to know that cable-based setups are… less than ideal. Maybe the HDMI cable is missing. Maybe the USB-C adapter lives in someone’s backpack. Maybe the cable works, but only if you hold it at a weird angle while sacrificing something to the tech gods. Wireless presentation solves all of that. Here’s how it helps your meeting rooms run smoother, faster, and with less distraction.

1. Meetings start on time
Cables introduce friction — and friction means delays. A five-minute scramble at the start of every meeting doesn’t just waste time, it kills focus before you’ve even begun. With wireless, presenters walk in, tap “share,” and get going. There’s no setup ritual that only one person knows about. Just… start. On time.

2. Collaboration becomes fluid
In a traditional setup, passing the mic (or rather, the cable) is a whole production. Someone unplugs, another person walks over, connects, adjusts settings, and then starts. Possibly with some delay to account for lag, capability issues, and whatnot.

With wireless, anyone can share from their seat — switching presenters literally takes less than a second. It encourages participation instead of discouraging it. That quick visual someone wanted to show? It’s on screen instantly. This fluidity transforms meetings from one-person presentations into genuine collaborative sessions.

3. Fewer IT tickets
Many IT support requests aren’t about firewalls or networking wizardry. They’re about… screen sharing. Cables that don’t connect. Adapters that vanished. Displays that won’t show anything. It’s death by a thousand minor tech issues — and it adds up.

Fewer tickets mean IT can focus on bigger priorities. (Like futureproofing your tech stack, not swapping out broken dongles.)

Key factors when choosing a conference room casting device

Plenty of devices promise easy wireless screen sharing. But when it comes to rolling them out across your actual meeting rooms — and making them play nicely with your setup — the differences start to show. Here’s what to keep in mind before you commit.

Works with the devices people use

Many teams bring a mix of Windows laptops, MacBooks, Chromebooks, iPads, Android phones — maybe all in the same meeting. A solid screen sharing solution should work with all of them. Even if all employees use the same operating system, you still need to accommodate visitors.

That’s why Airtame supports all major casting standards — AirPlay, Miracast, and Google Cast — plus browser-based sharing and our own app. So whether it’s a BYOD culture or just lots of guests, anyone can share without friction.

Fits your network and security needs

Consumer casting devices often fall short when it comes to enterprise network requirements. Airtame was designed with IT in mind: it supports network segmentation, WPA2/WPA3 encryption, proxy support, and 802.1X authentication — all the things that keep your infrastructure safe and compliant.

Need to let visitors share without putting them on your main network? Guest access and VLAN support help you keep things open and secure.

Plays well with video conferencing

It’s not always enough to share content to the room — remote participants need to see it too. Airtame integrates screen sharing into your Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Webex video calls without making you share your screen twice.

Even better: with dual-screen support on Airtame 3, you can split the call across two displays — people on one screen, shared content on the other — for a clearer, more collaborative experience.

Is easy to manage and scale

One or two rooms? Fine. Fifty rooms across three offices? You’ll want help. With Airtame Cloud, you can monitor, configure, and update every device remotely, from one dashboard. Schedule firmware updates, push signage content, check network status, and see which rooms get used most. It’s simple to use and saves IT hours of onsite troubleshooting.

Wrapping up

If you’re exploring wireless screen sharing solutions for your meeting rooms, look for something that works with all your devices, plays nicely with your network, and doesn’t create more work for IT. And if you want something that also supports digital signage, remote management, and hybrid meetings? Even better.

Airtame is built for all of that. And we’re happy to walk you through how it could work in your setup.
