The following components should be completed before the installation and configuration of Synappx Go. For enhanced security with optimal usability, a Windows configuration is recommended.

  1. Synappx Go and Synappx Go Windows application License
    The following license is required to use Synappx Go. Please contact an authorized Sharp dealer to obtain the license.
    1. Synappx Go User license applied to each user

    2. Synappx Go Workspace license applied to each Workspace
  2. Meeting Room Resources (Required for Microsoft 365)

    When Synappx Go Windows application is used in Workspace mode, Microsoft 365 must have a room resource calendar and an Office 365 license applied to the resource account. This account is used to log in to the Synappx Go Windows application installed on the in-room PC and Microsoft Teams (when installed on the in-room PC), and to view downloaded files during the meeting.

    When logged in and with Workspace mode enabled, Synappx Go Windows application displays a scheduled meeting list with an organizer and reserved time.

    Note: For Google Workspace, create a shared Google user account and log in to the default browser using the account for the in-room PC.

  3. Microsoft Teams Configurations (Required for Microsoft 365)

    The resource account is required to log in to install the Microsoft Teams application on an in-room PC. Once logged in, it shows a list of meetings that are scheduled to occur in the room. It is strongly recommended to further configure Microsoft Teams settings to set controls such as access to calendar and chat history.

  4. In-Room Computer with Microsoft Windows Login

    When the in-room PC is kept logged on so that each user is not required to log in, it is recommended to place necessary measures to maintain security and integrity.
