Using Apple TV with crowdbeamer makes for better business meetings
A good couple for business meetings
One of the many nice things about crowdbeamer is that it’s so easy to use in any meeting room setup. Especially when traveling from one meeting location to the next, that comes in very handy. All you need to do is take your crowdbeamer device with you, and connect it to your presentation laptop whenever you start presenting.
In particular, crowdbeamer works really well in meeting rooms equipped with an Apple TV. Both products make a good couple for business meetings.
In this article, we’ll talk about
Using Apple TV as a wireless screen mirroring device
You probably know Apple TV best for streaming video or sharing pictures via Airplay to your big TV screen at home. But since Airplay has a screen mirroring option, Apple TV is getting quite popular in meeting rooms as well. Many business apps (including PowerPoint, Keynote and several internet browsers) automatically activate Airplay mirroring. That makes it a breeze to present wirelessly from an iPad, iPhone or MacBook, and display your content on the TV screen connected to the Apple set-top box.
Using Apple TV makes it a breeze to present wirelessly from any iOS or macOS device.
Wireless presentation benefits for everybody
What makes Apple TV even more interesting for business meetings is that you can easily switch presenters. All that is needed is to wirelessly connect via AirPlay and take over from the previous presenter. There is simply no chance of any hassle with cables.
Getting rid of cables makes life easier for everybody, there’s no doubt about that. However, meeting room cables are not my biggest concern when you’re giving a presentation. Far more important are questions such as
- How do I make this meeting productive for everybody?
- How do I let my audience capture my message, and complete it with personal insights?
- How do I enable my audience to take my message with them once this meeting is over?
That’s precisely why using Apple TV with crowdbeamer makes so much sense. Crowdbeamer brings the benefits of wireless presentation to all meeting participants and enables presenters to create more impact with their message. Isn’t that what all of us are looking after, whenever we give a presentation?
