In today’s hybrid workplaces, collaboration shouldn’t be delayed by technology.
Employees expect to walk into a room and start sharing content instantly—without calling IT, swapping cables, or installing software. But for IT teams, enabling that kind of experience across an entire organization is no small task. That’s where AirSync comes in. It’s ViewSonic’s wireless screen sharing solution, built not just for speed and simplicity, but for secure, scalable deployment and centralized IT control.
Read on to see how AirSync helps IT teams simplify casting across devices, users, and networks—without sacrificing flexibility, security, or supportability. Or click here to learn more about it.
It’s five minutes past the hour, and the meeting still hasn’t started.
Someone’s searching for the right cable. Another is restarting their laptop because the display won’t detect. Around the table, productivity stalls while everyone waits for the tech to catch up.
Sound familiar? For many teams, these delays are an everyday frustration—wasting time, breaking focus, and cutting into what the meeting was meant to accomplish.
Why Screen Sharing Still Causes IT Headaches
In organizations with hybrid teams and flexible workspaces, screen sharing is one of the most frequent support issues IT faces. According to industry surveys, AV-related incidents still account for up to 30% of in-room meeting interruptions. And while users expect a seamless, plug-and-play experience, the reality is often more complex.
Different laptop brands, multiple operating systems, and varying meeting room setups introduce friction. HDMI ports might not be accessible, dongles may go missing, and software compatibility varies. All of this translates into frustrated users and lost productivity.
Despite advancements in conferencing tools, screen sharing remains a major pain point. IT departments deal with:
- Constant support tickets for display connectivity issues
- Forgotten dongles or adapters
- Compatibility problems between personal devices and room displays
- Insecure consumer-grade casting tools in meeting spaces
- Lack of centralized control or visibility over devices in use
The result? Frustrated users, wasted time, and preventable IT overhead.
What Is AirSync?
AirSync is a universal wireless screen sharing platform that enables users to cast content from their devices—laptops, tablets, or smartphones—to ViewSonic displays. This includes ViewBoard interactive displays (Interactive Flat Panels), presentation displays, and All-in-One LED video walls (DvLED).
Users can cast via browser or the AirSync Sender app, with support for AirPlay, Google Cast, and Miracast. And best of all, users do not need to be on the same local network. AirSync supports cross-network and browser-based casting, making it easy to use in segmented enterprise environments.
Key Features Designed for IT Teams
AirSync offers a range of features that directly address IT priorities:
- Cross-Network Compatibility – No need to reconfigure network access. Users can cast across VLANs, guest networks, or isolated Wi-Fi zones.
- Browser-Based Access – Most users can cast without installing anything. This reduces friction and eliminates the need for mass software deployment.
- Multi-User and Split-Screen Support – Up to 9 devices can connect at once, with split-screen views of up to 9 users simultaneously. Great for brainstorming or team reviews.
- Enterprise-Grade Security – All sessions are protected with end-to-end encryption, and hosts maintain control over who can cast and when.
- Centralized Device Management – AirSync integrates with ViewSonic Manager, enabling IT to monitor, configure, and troubleshoot displays across multiple locations from a central dashboard.
Real-World Scenarios Where AirSync Adds Value
From meeting rooms to executive briefings, AirSync helps IT teams support seamless screen sharing in every space. Here’s how it delivers value across the most common business and enterprise environments.
Hybrid Meeting Rooms
In many organizations, hybrid meetings are the new norm. With AirSync, in-room and remote participants can cast content wirelessly, reducing delays and device-switching hassles.
Training Rooms and Town Halls
Trainers and presenters can broadcast to multiple screens simultaneously, using display grouping for larger sessions.
Executive and Confidential Meetings
AirSync’s host controls and encryption help prevent unauthorized casting during sensitive briefings or reviews.
Visitor Presentations
Guests can cast via browser without being on the corporate network. This helps avoid risky network access or last-minute USB drive transfers, ensuring smoother and more secure external meetings.
Daily Stand-Ups and Agile Pods
Smaller teams can benefit from quick ad-hoc sharing without rotating laptops or switching cables. With multi-user support, ideas flow faster and more fluidly.
