1. Improvements for IT Managers

Simplified, QR-based registration

Registering your ClickShare device is now a piece of cake with our brand-new QR-code based registration. Scan the QR code with your smartphone and register your device in less than 2 minutes thanks to our simplified registration flow.

Where can you find the QR code?

As a sticker on the device (only for devices shipping with 2.18 or higher pre-installed)
On the setup screen after powering the device up for the first time
On the XMS registration page of the Base Unit Web Configurator and Configuration Wizard

Devices without the physical QR code sticker should be upgraded to 2.18 first.

How does the new registration flow work?

Scan the QR code on the device, setup screen or ClickShare Configurator to register the device for SmartCare.
Login to your Barco account and select your role.
Create and configure your organization account.
Add the new Base Units by scanning the QR code. Base Units that are already registered will be recognized.
