Synappx™ Go for Collaboration

How It Works

Starting a Scheduled Meeting

You can start a meeting by double-tapping the meeting, selecting the meeting and selecting Start, or selecting start from the five-minute countdown timer.

Note: The scheduled meeting is in your Outlook or Google Workspace calendar, and your laptop and the in-room PC are connected to a corporate network.
  1. Input 6 digit code or click "Start on my laptop only"

    Launch on display
    If you would like to use "Launch on display", input the 6 digit code, which is shown on the meeting room display, then click "Start". The meeting will run on both of your laptop and in-room PC. The next 2 and 3 steps will be skipped.

    Cast your laptop
    If you have toggled on "Enable auto device connection" in the Synappx Go settings, Synappx Go will establish a connection with the casting devices installed in the meeting room.

  2. Multiple Workspaces/Meeting Rooms

    Synappx Go supports various meeting and collaboration environments.

    Multiple Workspaces
    When a meeting is scheduled with multiple workspaces, Synappx Go will ask which workspace you are joining the meeting from. If you are not starting a meeting in a meeting room, select Skip to start the scheduled web conference on your laptop.

  3. Select a Display Device

    Synappx Go supports up to four devices per workspace. Once devices are configured by your administrator, you will see an option to select a display. Synappx Go will help launch a meeting or cast your laptop to the specified meeting room display.

Note: For privacy reasons, screen mirroring will not start automatically. Select the Play icon to start mirroring your PC screen to the display.

If the workspace is not licensed, the start button will be gray and disabled.

  3. Select Cast desktop from Sources.
  4. Select your Chromecast device.
  5. Select your PC screen. Then select Share.
End Screen Casting

End the meeting and disconnect casting by selecting the Synappx Meeting End button.

Automatic screen casting with Miracast is available when Synappx Meeting Cast Assist installed and an administrator configures the casting receiver to use Miracast.

  2. Enter the PIN when requested to start casting.
  3. End the meeting and disconnect casting by selecting the End button.

If you have a Synappx Go license, you will see an option to join the meeting remotely or at the workspace.

Select Skip if you are joining the meeting remotely and do not require in-room device connections. [View Image]

Home Mode

When you are working from home and do not require meeting room audio or casting, set your status to Home Mode. Synappx Go skips device connections and just starts web conferences.

Office Mode

When you are in the office, use Office Mode so that Synappx Go will assist with connecting your laptop to a meeting room display and audio device.

When a scheduled meeting includes a web conference, the web conference application will launch and the meeting will begin. (For a list of supported web conference services, go to System Requirements.)

To auto-connect to an in-room audio device via Bluetooth, a dialog box will appear when you start a meeting. Select Room audio and Connect. De-select Room audio if you do not want to connect the device or select Skip to opt out. [View Image]

Auto-connect for casting and audio is the default setting. Go to settings to manage auto-connect settings. [View Image]
