How ScreenBeam Works

Connecting Your Device

  1. Enter the room and check the display.

  2. For 20–46 seat conference rooms, ensure Wireless Projection is selected on the AMX Panel.

  • Enter the 4-digit code displayed

B. Some attendees are remote

  • Open the ScreenBeam Conference App (laptop only)
