Newline Launch Control
Newline Launch Control Meeting Room Software
Newline Launch Control is meeting room software for Newline interactive displays. It lets staff start Microsoft Teams, Zoom or other video calls with one tap, shows the room calendar and personal Office 365 meetings on screen, and runs a kiosk mode that clears cached data after each session. It suits ministries, universities and schools in Doha and across Qatar where guests share meeting rooms.
What Launch Control does in a meeting room
Launch Control is meeting room software for Newline interactive displays. Rather than searching for a dial-in link or signing in to a video platform on a shared computer, a presenter taps the screen once, or scans a QR code with a phone, and the call opens in the video service the organisation already uses. The datasheet lists Skype and Microsoft Teams as integrated, with Zoom, GoToMeeting, Google Meet, BlueJeans, Lifesize and Cisco Webex supported as third-party video conferencing software.
Security and guest access
Kiosk Mode gives the display a controlled home screen with pre-set apps and URLs, so a visitor can join a call without roaming through the host computer's files or the wider network. Between meetings, the built-in options clear cached data, close open applications and reset the device for the next session. Pin security, optional calendar privacy and automatic or manual cache clearing give IT and facilities teams control over how each room runs.
Calendars and personal sign-in
The room calendar shows every meeting booked for that space, while the time, date and approved apps sit on the same screen. Staff can sign in with their own Office 365 or Google account to see a personal schedule and start a call with their documents already open. Calendar support covers Google and Exchange, and the datasheet describes a secure connection through the account the user signs in with.
Where it fits in Qatar
- Government ministry in West Bay: a board room where visiting delegations join Teams or Zoom calls from the approved screen, while the internal network stays separate from guest devices.
- Research centre in Education City: shared rooms booked by several research groups, each seeing the room calendar and signing in to their own account before a partner call.
- Energy company in Mesaieed: a visitor room where contractors use a kiosk-style screen, with cached data cleared before the next group arrives.
What to plan before you order
- Windows: the receiver app needs Windows 10 version 1809 at minimum, and Windows 11 (latest version) is recommended.
- Host computer: the datasheet lists an Intel Core i3 (8th Gen) processor and 64GB of storage. Confirm memory and other needs for your chosen display model.
- Network: Ethernet or Wi-Fi at 2Mbps or above is listed as the connection requirement.
- Licence: the key is perpetual and covers three single activations, so confirm your room count when requesting a quote.
- Language: the listed languages are English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Traditional Chinese. Ask about Arabic interface needs before rollout.
SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys, which are a practical step here. A short check of each room's network, display and calendar accounts before installation prevents delays on installation day. For a school or ministry ordering several rooms, we can work from a purchase order (LPO) or a government tender reference, and quotations are usually returned within one working day.
