Whether you’re in a classroom, a meeting room, or a shared workspace, one challenge shows up time and again: screen sharing shouldn’t be this hard.Too many educators and professionals still rely on messy cables, missing dongles, or clunky software just to share a screen. And for IT teams, that means endless support tickets, AV interruptions, and wasted time. That’s why ViewSonic created AirSync—a universal wireless casting solution built to eliminate screen sharing friction, no matter where or how it’s used.
Read on to discover how AirSync universal wireless casting software solves screen-sharing challenges across all environments, from classrooms to meeting rooms, or learn more about it here.
With no cables, no complicated setup, and no network limitations, AirSync delivers fast, secure, and flexible screen casting for displays of all sizes. In this post, we’ll look at the most common wireless casting hurdles, how AirSync solves them, and why it’s a smarter choice for IT-managed environments—from classrooms to boardrooms.
The Common Hurdles of Screen Sharing
Despite all the advances in technology, these hurdles are still surprisingly common:
- Cable clutter and adapter chaos – Different laptops require different ports (HDMI, USB-C, DisplayPort). When one’s missing, everything stops.
- Software downloads and updates – Many casting tools require apps or extensions, which are blocked or unsupported on managed devices.
- Network compatibility issues – Devices on separate VLANs or guest networks often can’t cast, especially in secure environments.
- Limited device support – Some casting tools work only on specific platforms (e.g., iOS only or Android only).
- Single-user bottlenecks – Traditional setups only allow one presenter at a time.
- Security concerns – Without encryption or admin controls, users can cast over others, or share sensitive content by mistake.
- No IT oversight – Many consumer tools don’t integrate with device management platforms, making them hard to scale securely.
Each of these challenges results in frustration, delay, or downtime—the opposite of what technology should provide.

Classroom. Conference Room. Campus. One Screen Sharing Solution.
Imagine this:
A high school science teacher wants students to share their hypotheses in real time. Half the class is using school Chromebooks; others are using iPads. With AirSync, they can all cast from their personal devices by simply scanning the QR code displayed on the classroom’s front-of-class interactive display—no installs, no extra permissions needed. Using moderator mode, the teacher controls the flow of the session, approving student shares as they come in. The screen is then split to compare results side by side, enabling meaningful discussion.
Meanwhile, in a mid-size company’s conference room, a cross-functional team gathers for a quarterly planning meeting. Team members wirelessly cast slides, dashboards, and documents from their own devices, some using the Sender app, others via their browser. With split-screen mode, they compare inputs from multiple departments in real time. The meeting runs smoothly from start to finish—no cables, no adapters, no setup delays.
At a large university, an IT manager prepares a lecture hall for an upcoming first-year engineering class. The professor will present from the stage using a large All-in-One LED Display, but students seated toward the back may struggle to see the finer details. Using AirSync, the IT manager connects several secondary displays throughout the amphitheater, ensuring content cast to the main screen is simultaneously mirrored across the room. There’s no need for signal splitters, long cables, or manual setup—just seamless visibility for every student, regardless of where they’re seated.
That’s the kind of flexibility that makes AirSync the smarter way to cast—anywhere, for anyone.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re teaching in a busy classroom, presenting in a boardroom, or supporting technology across a campus, screen sharing should feel effortless—not like a hurdle to clear.
AirSync removes the usual obstacles—cables, compatibility issues, and clunky setup—and replaces them with a wireless casting solution that’s simple, secure, and adaptable to any environment.
One solution. Any device. Any display. Anywhere.
