Overview

The Barco ClickShare Desktop App is software for Windows and macOS computers that connects a presenter's laptop to ClickShare Present and ClickShare Conference devices in a meeting room. It lets staff share their screen wirelessly and start conferencing from one application, with no cables or adapters at the front of the room. It suits schools, universities, ministries and hotels in Qatar that host visiting presenters and need meetings to start quickly. Request a quote and confirm your operating systems before ordering.

What the ClickShare Desktop App does for presenters

The ClickShare Desktop App is the software that runs on a presenter's own computer and connects it to a ClickShare device in the room. Once the app is set up, a presenter can share the laptop screen to the room display wirelessly, without cables, adapters or switching inputs at the front of the room. The same application is used to start a wireless conferencing session, so one piece of software covers both sharing content and joining a meeting from the room.

This matters most in rooms that people use only occasionally, such as lecture theatres used by visiting speakers, boardrooms used by board members, or meeting rooms used by external consultants. The app is designed to pair with ClickShare Present and ClickShare Conference devices and does not replace them, because the room hardware is what delivers the signal to the display.

Compatibility to confirm before rollout

The app is available for compatible Windows and macOS computers. Compatibility depends on specific operating system versions, so confirm the versions your staff use before ordering for a mixed fleet. SmartRooms Qatar will check the supported versions against your devices as part of the quotation, so you know what is covered before you buy.

Windows: compatible Windows versions only
macOS: compatible macOS versions only
Room side: a ClickShare Present or ClickShare Conference device is required

Where it fits in Qatar

In a university lecture theatre in Education City, lecturers often move between teaching rooms with their own laptops. Installing the desktop app means a lecturer can share slides from a personal machine from the first minute of a session, rather than waiting for a room PC to start up. In a ministry boardroom in Msheireb, senior officials can present from their own laptops during a meeting that connects Doha with colleagues abroad, and the room stays in use across the Sunday to Thursday working week.

Hotels and serviced apartments in West Bay can use the app to make meeting rooms easier for visiting speakers. A guest with a compatible Windows or macOS laptop can start a presentation without first finding the right adapter.

Planning a rollout across a school, campus or ministry

A school in Al Wakrah fitting out several classrooms, or a training centre in the Industrial Area with multiple rooms, should plan the software and the room hardware together. Map which rooms have a ClickShare Present or ClickShare Conference device, then list the staff who will present and the laptops they carry. A site survey helps confirm where the room device sits, how the display is mounted and where the presenter will stand.

List each room and the ClickShare device installed in it
Count the users and their Windows or macOS computers
Confirm the app version against each operating system
Agree a handover plan with the facilities team

SmartRooms Qatar supplies the software for quotation, delivers to all eight municipalities of Qatar, and can arrange professional installation. For more than one unit, a purchase order (LPO) or a government tender can be used. Request a quote for the app and the room devices it works with, and we will return the quotation usually within one working day.

Questions about ClickShare Desktop App

What is the Barco ClickShare Desktop App used for?

It is companion software that runs on a Windows or macOS computer and connects the presenter to a ClickShare room device. Staff use it to share their screen wirelessly with a meeting room display and to start a wireless conferencing session from the same application. It suits organisations in Qatar that want presenters to walk into a room and share without cables or adapters.

Does the app work without a ClickShare device in the room?

No. The app is designed to work with ClickShare Present and ClickShare Conference devices, which receive the signal and drive the room display. Without one of these devices in the room, the app has nothing to connect to. If you are equipping a meeting room from scratch, request a quote for the app together with a compatible room device so both arrive matched.

Which computers and operating systems are supported?

The app supports compatible Windows and macOS computers. Because compatibility depends on specific operating system versions, confirm the exact versions before purchase. Send SmartRooms Qatar the laptop models and operating systems your staff use, and the team will check them against the manufacturer's current compatibility information as part of your quotation.

Which ClickShare devices does the desktop app pair with?

It pairs with ClickShare Present and ClickShare Conference devices. A ClickShare Present setup suits rooms where the main job is sharing content, while a ClickShare Conference setup adds the conferencing side for meetings with participants elsewhere. Tell us which kind of room you are equipping and we will recommend the matching device in the quotation.

How does a lecturer at Education City use it in a lecture theatre?

A lecturer who moves between teaching rooms can install the app on a personal laptop and share slides from that machine as soon as the session starts. This avoids waiting for a room PC to boot or swapping cables at the lectern. Because the app works with compatible Windows and macOS computers, confirm each lecturer's operating system before rollout so every teacher can connect from the first lesson.

Can a ministry boardroom in Msheireb use it for meetings with colleagues abroad?

Yes. The same application handles wireless presentation and conferencing, so officials can present from their own laptops while the meeting connects Doha with colleagues overseas. For a boardroom, the room device and layout matter as much as the software, so the SmartRooms Qatar team can review the room size, seating and display position during a site survey before the quotation is finalised.

Is the app useful for a hotel meeting room in West Bay?

It is useful when visiting speakers arrive with their own laptops and need to present without searching for an adapter. Hotel technical staff set up the room device once, and guests then share from their own Windows or macOS computers. Before fitting out a room, ask SmartRooms Qatar to check the room size and display placement so the content is visible from every seat.

Does the software need wall mounting or a site survey?

The software itself needs no mounting, but the room hardware it pairs with does. A site survey before installation confirms where the display and room device will sit, the cable route and where the presenter will stand. SmartRooms Qatar offers site surveys and professional installation, so the room layout can be planned before anything is fixed to a wall.

How should a school in Al Wakrah plan a rollout to staff laptops?

List every classroom or meeting room that has a ClickShare device, then count the staff who will present and the Windows or macOS laptops they use. Confirm the app version against each operating system before ordering, and agree a handover plan with the school's technical team. This gives the school a clear list to quote against and avoids finding incompatible laptops after installation.

Can our organisation buy the app through a purchase order or a government tender?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and supports government tenders, including Monaqasat, with payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. For several units, send the number of rooms and users with your LPO reference so the quotation matches your order. Request a quote and the team will usually respond within one working day.

Is the app available in Arabic?

The manufacturer data available to us does not list the interface languages, so we do not state Arabic support. If your staff work in Arabic and English side by side, ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm the interface languages for the exact version being quoted before you order.

Is the app still current, and what should I order with it?

Yes, the Barco ClickShare Desktop App is a current product. Order it with a compatible ClickShare Present or ClickShare Conference room device, because the app is designed to connect to that hardware. Tell us the room size, the number of users and their operating systems, and request a quote for the complete package.
