The Barco allows you to simply share your laptop or mobile device on a main presentation screen with no hassle, no messy cables, just quick, confident sharing. You can following the instructions on the screen when you start the projector to connect your laptop to the Barco ClickShare. Here are the steps to use the Barco with your laptop:
- Connect the ClickShare Button to the USB port on you laptop. Note: If your laptop only has USB-C ports you will need to use a USB-C to USB adaptor.
- The ClickShare Button will show up as a USB drive on your laptop and when you select the drive you will see the OneClick software that needs to be run to share your laptop.
- Once the OneClick software is running you can click the button to share the screen. Note: The Barco ClickShare allows mulitple devices to share to the screen at the same time.
Important Notes:
- We no longer have HDMI/VGA cables in rooms 105, 233, 301, 302, 401, and 402.
- The Barco ClickShare uses a USB connection to share your laptop. If you have a device that only has USB-C you will need a USB-C to USB adaptor. We have some USB-C to USB adaptors available for loan in room 101.
- Barco does not have an application for Linux so please come talk to CS Staff if you are using Linux and trying to use the projector in the rooms.

Barco Mobile Device Support
The Barco does support both iOS and Andriod to display to the system. You will need to download the “ClickShare” application in the Apple or Andriod app store. Once you have the application installed you will have to connect to the Barco wireless network which will be “CS###-ClickShare” (### is the room number) and the password “computerscience” to display to the system. You will not have access to the internet while connected to the Barco wireless network so if your device does not have cellular service you will not have any network access.
