KLIK software offers users three primary advantages:
-
Login Password restricts who can access the KLIK Boks as they need to be in the room and view the password on the display screen in order to connect.
-
Allows use of the KLIK Boks in Conference Mode, where one administrator can control which client can start a streaming session.
-
Built-in annotation software that allows a user to markup screen content and use the whiteboard function.
If the first two issues are not critical to you (after all, users will need to authenticate to your network to even see the KLIK Boks) then there is a simple alternative.
In Windows versions 8.1, 8.1RT and 10, users can employ the “Wireless Display” function that’s built right in to those versions of the OS. The function is available from the Settings>Display menu and is labelled “Connect to a Wireless Display”. The function can be added to the shortcuts in the Action Center for easy and direct access.
The wireless display function uses a protocol named “Miracast” that is part of the Wi-Fi specification, adopted by Microsoft and others for this purpose. Windows includes the ability to mirror any connected display (multiple monitors) or to extend the display by adding a discrete output. Plus, Android users can stream their screens without installing an app, as that OS also includes Miracast.
As an added bonus, Apple users (Mac and iOS) can also stream their screens without installing an app, by using AirPlay.
