Best ClickShare Alternative for Screen Sharing and Digital Signage

Many teams start looking for a ClickShare alternative when their Barco units get old or the hardware for every room starts adding up. Rise Vision screen sharing transforms any display into a wireless presentation hub. You can share content from any device without adapters or proprietary hardware.

Why Choose Rise Vision Over ClickShare?

3b-screen-cast

Share From Any Device Without a Button

ClickShare connects presenters through a USB-C Button, the ClickShare App, or supported screen-mirroring protocols such as AirPlay, Google Cast, and Miracast, depending on the model. With Rise Vision, users share their screens by navigating to risevision.com/join and entering a code. And Standard Mode allows quick sharing without a Rise Vision account.

Decide Who Presents With Moderator Mode

On current ClickShare models, a new presenter can take over the screen from whoever's sharing. Rise Vision's Moderator Mode works differently. You approve which participants are able to present, ensuring a smooth and orderly sharing process.

Give the Displays You Already Own a New Life

ClickShare room deployments use dedicated Barco hardware, such as a Base Unit, video bar, or Hub. With Rise Vision, you can give old displays and interactive flat panels a new life. Instead of discarding and replacing underutilized displays, enhance them with Rise Vision screen sharing.
