Newline Broadcast
Newline Broadcast Wireless Screen Sharing Software
Newline Broadcast is software that shares a Newline interactive display's content live to people's own devices. One tap on the display's Broadcast button starts a session that up to 200 attendees can follow from a browser, with no app to install on their side. Annotations appear on every connected screen. It suits lecture halls, large meeting rooms and one-to-one classrooms across Qatar. Request a quote.
How Newline Broadcast works on a Newline display
Newline Broadcast turns a Newline interactive display into a live source that other people can follow on their own devices. The presenter taps the Broadcast button on the side of the display, and the screen content, including anything written or annotated on it, appears in real time for everyone who has joined. There is no session to schedule and no invitation list to build beforehand.
Viewers join through a web browser. They open the Newline Broadcast webpage, enter a six-digit ID, and they are live. Windows, Mac, iOS, iPadOS, Android and Chromebook devices can all join, so a student with a tablet and a manager with a laptop can follow the same presentation without installing anything.
Capabilities that shape the buying decision
A single session accepts up to 200 attendees. That makes Broadcast practical for a lecture hall or a large boardroom where people at the back need the same view as those at the front. Sketches and annotations made on the main display appear on every connected device, and viewers can add their own annotations.
Joining does not depend on a shared internet link. The datasheet confirms that participants can connect from any internet connection, anywhere, so a remote colleague does not need to be on the same office or school network. Viewers can zoom in on content and capture screenshots, and the presenter can save files locally or to the cloud.

Where Broadcast fits in Qatar
A university or training centre in Education City can run a hybrid lecture where some students sit in the room and others join from home or from another campus. Broadcast works alongside the conferencing software already in use, so the lecturer keeps the screen content in front of remote viewers without changing their video platform.
A private school in Al Wakrah rolling out a one-to-one device programme can keep pupils at the back of the classroom on the lesson, each on their own tablet. In West Bay or Msheireb, a leadership team can present a board pack to colleagues in Lusail or abroad, with the discussion annotated live on the screen.
What to plan before you order
Confirm the Newline display model in each room and its Android version, because the datasheet lists Android 5.0 or above and notes that specifications vary by region. Licences are perpetual for one device, so each display needs its own licence. Buildings with several displays across floors or campus blocks should count licences before requesting a quote.
Ask SmartRooms Qatar for a free site survey to check each room before you buy. Schools and ministries ordering for several rooms can use a purchase order (LPO) or a government tender, and quotations are usually issued within one working day. Request a quote and the team will confirm the right licence count for your rooms.
