Session Tab

The Session tab is used to configure five options for MAX Connect-hosted meeting sessions.

Note: Up to 30 participants may connect to a session.

Room Name

Allow the administrator to set the name that appears on the Welcome Screen of the room's primary display.

AirPlay and Google Cast

Enables the user of AirPlay and Google Cast for sharing content.

Open Extended Info Bar at Session Start

When toggled on, this option defaults the information bar to be opened at session start rather than compacted. The session bar is visible at the bottom of the room display screen when a participant is screen sharing. The bar includes the room name, the IP address for the device, and any WiFi information.

Show participant's name under the annotation Tag

Makes participants' user names appear under their cursor when making annotations on a session whiteboard. This allows other paricipants to identify who is marking the board.

Paired App Support

When on, this allows users to pair their MAX Connect desktop app to be with a MAX Connect device. A paired app can automatically join sessions hosted on a paired device without needing to enter the Welcome Screen's session ID.

The admin user can also unpair all apps instances in this section. The total number of paired apps is displayed next to the Unpair button.
