Using Clevershare on Chromebook, iPad, iPhone and Android

Please note: this is independent guidance. Vision Tech is not affiliated with Clevertouch. Menus and features differ between models and software versions, so check your screen's own manual or on-screen help, and speak to your school IT team or supplier before changing admin-locked settings, updating firmware or doing a factory reset.

Clevershare and similar wireless methods can often be used from tablets and phones as well as computers. What you need depends on the device, your school's network and which software your Clevertouch screen runs, so ask IT if the steps here do not match.

Before you start

Check whether your school allows personal devices to join the network.
Make sure the device is on the same Wi-Fi or approved network as the panel, if your IT team has told you to do so.
Look for the panel's sharing screen, which normally shows a name and a code.

Chromebook

Many schools install the Clevershare app or extension on staff Chromebooks. Open it, enter the code or choose the screen, and select what to share. If you cannot find it, ask IT, since Chromebooks managed by a school may be limited.

iPad and iPhone

Depending on your set up, you may use the Clevershare app from the App Store, or Apple's built-in screen mirroring if the panel supports it. In the app, enter the code, then allow screen sharing when your device asks. To stop, use the app or the device's own stop button.

Android phones and tablets

Install the Clevershare app from the store if your school allows it, open it, then enter the code or choose the screen. Allow screen capture when asked. Some Android devices also have a built-in casting option with a name such as screen cast or smart view, which may work if the panel supports it.

Tips for everyone

Turn off notifications before sharing.
Keep the device awake while sharing.
Hold the device in landscape for the best picture.
Stop sharing when you finish, so the next person can connect.

When to get more help

Ask IT if you cannot find the app, your device is blocked, the code never works, or the picture is very slow. Tell them the device type, its software version and the message you see.

Did this help? If you are still stuck, email Vision Tech and tell us what you can see on the screen. Menus and button names can differ slightly between versions and makes. If something does not match, stop and ask rather than guess.
