Chromecast
Add Meeting Room 365 to your Chromecast and connect it to your meeting room display.
Chromecast provides the simplest way to turn any TV into a meeting room display. No app installation is required on the Chromecast itself — simply use the dedicated Meeting Room 365 Chromecast portal to cast your room display to any TV.
This makes Chromecast ideal for quick deployments and temporary meeting spaces. Meeting Room 365's Chromecast integration provides persistent casting that maintains your display even if the casting device disconnects.
