Introduction
InstaShare Wireless Solution is a wireless device for corporate meeting rooms and education-based
classrooms. It is a unique wireless presentation solution without complex software and web settings.
Users expect devices to respond instantly with the power to control them at their fingertips, instead
of having to read user manuals and install extraneous apps on their devices. This product allows these
users to bypass complicated steps such as configuring IP addresses, installing drivers and apps,
configuring settings, and so on, to quickly deliver stable and professional-quality video which allows
teams to collaborate freely and confidently.
A standard product set consists of a Wireless USB Adapter, two InstaShare Buttons, and one
InstaShare Dock. The software for the base unit may differ depending on the location where you buy
the product. You can also buy additional InstaShare kits if needed.

Using InstaShare Wireless Solution
Installing the Wireless Adapter
To begin using InstaShare Button, you must first install the Wireless Adapter to a Type-A USB port
on your display. Though the Wireless Adapter is compatible with USB 2.0 ports, it is recommended
that you install it to a USB 3.0 or above port (if available) on your display.
Pairing a Button to the Wireless Adapter
A product set includes two Buttons, which are already paired with the supplied Wireless Adapter
before shipment. If you want to use a newly purchased Button or a Button that has already been
paired with another Wireless Adapter, you will need to follow the instruction below in order to pair
the Button with the current Wireless Adapter.
To pair a Button with the Wireless Adapter:
1. Make sure that the Wireless Adapter is installed on your display and that the display is powered
on.
2. In the Network tab of the OSD settings menu on the display, enable WLAN Hotspot.

3. Open the InstaShare 2 app on the display.
4. Install the Button you want to pair to either a Type-C USB port or Type-A USB port (using the
supplied Type-C-to-Type-A USB adapter) on your display, and then confirm that you want to pair
the Button in the pop-up message that appears.
5. The Button will begin pairing with the Wireless Adapter as the LED indicator on the Button
flashes blue.
If it is your first time using the Button, you will be able to change the name of the button prior to the pairing
process.

6. Once the pairing process is finished the display will show a confirmation notification.
7. Remove the Button from the display.
8. Repeat the process for any additional Buttons.

12 Using InstaShare Wireless Solution
Starting a presentation
Once a Button is paired to the Wireless Adapter you can use it with any device with a full-functioning
Type-C USB port to start presentations.
To start a presentation:
1. Make sure that the Wireless Adapter is installed on your display and that the display is powered
on.
2. Insert an already paired Button to your device’s Type-C USB port.
3. The LED on the Button will flash green while it connects to the Wireless Adapter. Wait about
ten seconds for the Button to connect.
Make sure the display/Wireless Adapter is still set to hotspot mode before starting a presentation. The Button
will not be able to connect to the Wireless Adapter if it is set to normal Wi-Fi mode.
The Button does not support connecting to a device’s Type-A USB port using the supplied Type-C-to-Type-A
adapter. The adapter is only meant for connections to the display during the pairing process.
USB-C™

13Using InstaShare Wireless Solution
4. Once the LED stops flashing and turns solid green, the button is successfully connected to the
Wireless Adapter. Press the present key to begin presenting.
When the presentation starts, the LED on the Button will turn solid blue.
• Make sure the Type-C USB port on your device supports video output.
• Make sure the transmission distance between the Button and Wireless Adapter is within 15M and with no
obstacles in between.
• The product supports MacBooks and Windows laptops to mirror an extended desktop.

14 Using InstaShare Wireless Solution
Split-screen presentations
The product allows up to nine users to present simultaneously in a split-screen orientation.
Starting a split-screen presentation
1. Connect a Button to each computer that will be presenting in the split-screen presentation.
2. Start a normal presentation using one of the Buttons. See Starting a presentation on page 12 for
more information.
3. Press the present key on the second Button. The second device’s screen will be added into the
presentation in a split-screen format.
Make sure that all Buttons have already been paired to the Wireless Adapter connected to the display. See Pairing
a Button to the Wireless Adapter on page 9 for more information.

15Using InstaShare Wireless Solution
4. Repeat step 4 for all other users that want to join the split-screen presentation.
Enlarging a split-screen
Once in a split-screen presentation, you can enlarge any of the participant’s individual screens by
pressing the split-screen key on the Button of the participant that wants to enlarge their screen.
To return to the normal split-screen presentation format press the split-screen key again on the
Button of the participant with the enlarged screen.
• Only up to 9 users are simultaneously supported in a split-screen presentation.
• The layout of the split-screen presentation will be dictated by the amount of users in the presentation.

16 Using InstaShare Wireless Solution
Touch back
When the Wireless Adapter is connected to a touchscreen display and a PC is presenting via a
Button, you can control the interface of the PC remotely via touch gestures on the display’s screen.
The product only supports touch back for Windows-based PCs. It does not support touch back for MacBooks or
Chromebooks.

17Using InstaShare Wireless Solution
Using a display’s webcam, speakers, and/or microphone
When a Button is connected to a device and presenting, the device will also be able to make use of
any combination of the display’s speakers, microphone, or webcam (connected externally) in the
programs/applications it is running. This feature gives users the ability when using video software to
easily switch between the audio/video channels of either their device or the display based on what is
suitable for their setting, without the need for any further physical connections or additional
installation processes.
Think of a situation in which a group of meeting participants gather in a conference room that
features a large BenQ touchscreen display. In this scenario a participant running a video conferencing
app can connect an already paired Button to his or her notebook PC and begin a presentation to
share the video conference with all other participants in the room. Once presenting, the user can
then switch the video input for the app over to the display’s external webcam and both the audio
input and output to the microphone and speakers of the display respectively.
This setup allows the video conferencing app to capture views and voices from of all the participants
in the conference room as well as broadcast the audio on the display’s more powerful speakers so
that the whole room is able to hear, thereby removing the need for each particpant to individually log
into the video conference themselves.

Storing Buttons in the InstaShare Dock

touch styluses and/or a remote control.
