It suits schools and universities across Qatar that run ActivPanel 9, Elements, Titanium Pro or ActivConnect OPS-G units. Request a quote to confirm your firmware levels.

What Screen Share does in a classroom

Promethean Screen Share is a software application for the ActivPanel interactive display range. It lets students mirror their device screens onto a compatible panel, so a group can present its work to the whole room without swapping cables or moving to the front. It is built for classroom collaboration and student-led learning, where the lesson shifts from one presenter to the group.

Teacher control and wireless use

The teacher decides which devices are allowed to share their screen to the ActivPanel. That single control keeps the board focused on approved sources during a lesson. Screen Share has apps for Windows and Mac, so the two most common laptop platforms in a school can take part.

Wi-Fi Direct works alongside those apps to let the panel screen wirelessly control a connected computer. A teacher can run a presentation from the front of the room instead of returning to the desk each time a slide needs changing.

Touch navigation and encrypted connections

Touchback lets a presenter navigate the connected computer directly from the ActivPanel surface. This suits lessons that move between the board and a laptop, because the presenter stays in front of the class.

Security is part of the design. All communication between connected devices and the Screen Share service is encrypted. This gives IT managers a clear point to confirm during network planning, which is routine for government bodies, universities and private schools in Doha.

Compatible panels and firmware requirements

Screen Share is not a standalone display. It is supported on the following hardware, each with a minimum firmware level:

ActivPanel 9
ActivPanel Elements series with firmware v3.2 or above
ActivPanel Titanium Pro
ActivConnect OPS-G with firmware v2.4.2 or above

Firmware can be updated from the Downloads page, or pushed remotely using Promethean Web Device Management. For a school with several rooms, remote management means updates can be scheduled across the building without visiting each classroom.

Where it fits in Qatar

An international school in Education City running project-based lessons, where groups present findings from their own laptops, can use Screen Share to bring each group's work to the panel quickly. The teacher controls which devices connect, so the lesson stays on track.

A school in Al Rayyan refitting classrooms with ActivPanel 9 or Elements displays could add Screen Share to the same rollout plan. In a university seminar room in West Bay, a presenter can move through slides from the board while students share their own screens during group discussion.

What to plan before you order

Confirm the panel model and firmware level in each room.
List the operating systems your staff and students use.
Check Wi-Fi coverage in every teaching space, since Wi-Fi Direct is part of the wireless workflow.
Agree which teachers manage device approvals.

The free site survey is the right place to check these points before installation. Send your panel models, room list and firmware details to SmartRooms Qatar and request a quote. Quotations are usually issued within one working day, and we supply, deliver and install across all eight municipalities of Qatar.

Questions about Screen Share

What is Promethean Screen Share used for?

Promethean Screen Share lets students mirror their device screens onto a compatible ActivPanel display. It is designed for classroom collaboration and student-driven learning, so a group can present its work from the front of the room without swapping cables. Teachers can bring several student sources into one lesson while the board stays where the whole class can see it.

Which Promethean panels support Screen Share?

Screen Share runs on the ActivPanel 9, ActivPanel Elements series with firmware v3.2 or above, ActivPanel Titanium Pro, and ActivConnect OPS-G with firmware v2.4.2 or above. Older firmware needs updating before the app can be used. Give SmartRooms Qatar your panel models and current firmware levels when you request a quote, so the plan matches your hardware.

How is the panel firmware updated?

You can update an ActivPanel or ActivConnect by downloading the update from the Downloads page on Promethean's website. Alternatively, Promethean Web Device Management can push the update remotely. For a school with many rooms, remote management lets an IT team schedule updates across the building without visiting each classroom, which keeps lessons running.

Can a teacher decide which laptops or tablets can share?

Yes. The teacher chooses which devices are allowed to share their screen to the ActivPanel. This keeps the board focused on approved sources during a lesson. In a secondary school in Al Sadd, where one teacher may manage several student groups at once, that control helps keep each lesson organised and on schedule.

Does Screen Share work with Windows and Mac?

Yes. Screen Share has apps for Windows and Mac, so both platforms can take part in a session. Wi-Fi Direct works with those apps to let you use the panel screen to wirelessly control a connected computer. For a school with a mixed laptop fleet, list the operating systems your staff and students use so each device has the right app before the lesson starts.

What is Touchback and when is it useful?

Touchback lets a presenter navigate the connected computer using the ActivPanel surface itself. It is useful when a lesson moves between the board and a laptop, such as a university lecture in West Bay where the presenter needs to stay near the board. The feature keeps the presenter in front of the room rather than returning to the desk for every slide.

Is the connection between devices secure?

All communication between connected devices and the Screen Share service is encrypted, according to the manufacturer's data. This is a useful point for IT managers at government bodies, universities and private schools in Qatar who review network security before installing classroom technology. Include the Screen Share setup in your network plan and raise any questions during the site survey.

Do the rooms need a reliable Wi-Fi network?

Screen Share depends on a working link between the panel and each student device, and Wi-Fi Direct is part of the wireless control workflow. Check signal strength in every teaching space before installation, especially in large halls or rooms with thick walls. The source data does not give network minimums, so confirm your network design during the free site survey before panels are mounted.

How could a school in Qatar use it day to day?

A school in Al Rayyan refitting classrooms with ActivPanel 9 or Elements displays could add Screen Share to the same plan. Group tasks become easier when students share work from their own laptops, and the teacher controls which devices connect. Ask for one quotation covering the panels, the firmware plan and the software requirements so every classroom is set up consistently.

Is the software available in Arabic?

The data we hold for Screen Share does not list an Arabic interface, so we do not state language support for this software. Schools and offices that work in Arabic and English side by side should confirm interface language with the SmartRooms Qatar team before ordering. Ask about the language settings of the ActivPanel and of the Screen Share apps on the devices your staff will use.

Can I add Screen Share to panels I already own?

Screen Share is designed to run on the listed ActivPanel and ActivConnect OPS-G models at the stated firmware levels. If you already own a compatible panel, tell SmartRooms Qatar the model and firmware so the quotation reflects your current hardware. Ministries, schools and companies can issue a purchase order (LPO), and quotations are usually sent within one working day of your request.

Does SmartRooms Qatar handle the installation?

SmartRooms Qatar offers professional installation for the compatible panels and can plan the rollout around your teaching timetable. Because the software depends on firmware levels and network conditions, a free site survey before installation is recommended. The survey confirms room layouts, mounting positions and Wi-Fi coverage for each classroom, and the installation scope is then confirmed in the quotation.
