What is Wireless Presentation?

Wireless presentation uses the Airtame app to connect to the projector in any General Purpose Classroom without plugging in a cable to your computer.

Using Airtame

  1. Connect to eduroam wifi on your device.
  2. Install the Airtame app on your University computer from Self Service (Mac) or Software Center (PC), or on your personal computer at airtame.com/start.

    1. Power on your Display by selecting "On" on the podium keypad.
    2. Select the correct source by pressing either the "Source" or "Wireless" button on the podium keypad.
    3. Type the IP address into the Airtame app on your device. The IP address can be found on the classroom display as shown in the following illustration.
