You’re ready to teach—but the screen won’t connect. Cables are tangled, the adapter’s missing, and the clock is ticking. Every teacher has faced these frustrating delays, losing valuable class time before the lesson even begins. That’s where AirSync, ViewSonic’s universal wireless casting solution, comes in. It makes screen sharing in the classroom fast, flexible, and frustration-free.
Read on to see how AirSync lets you cast your screen in seconds—no cables, no installs, no lost teaching time. Or click here to learn more about it.
Technology should make teaching easier—not add more stress. Yet when it comes to sharing your screen or switching between activities, it often does the opposite. And in those crucial first moments of a lesson, when focus is fragile and attention spans are short, teachers need tools that just work—instantly and reliably.
Not only that—if it’s difficult for you, it’s just as difficult for your students when it’s their turn to share at the board.
What Is AirSync?
AirSync is a universal wireless casting tool that allows you to share your screen from a laptop, tablet, or smartphone to a ViewSonic display. That includes interactive displays (IFPs), presentation displays, and large LED video walls (All-in-One LED Displays).
No more switching cables between devices or troubleshooting ports. With AirSync, you simply cast your screen using a browser or the AirSync Sender app—without any complex setup or shared network requirements.
Students can also share their screens during class discussions, group projects, or presentations—helping to enhance participation and make every lesson more dynamic.
Why AirSync Works So Well in Classrooms
AirSync is designed with real classrooms in mind. Here’s why it’s becoming a favorite among educators:
1. No Apps Required for Basic Use
AirSync’s browser-based casting means that students and teachers don’t need to install anything to get started. Just open a browser, enter a code, and start casting. It’s perfect for schools with shared devices or BYOD policies.

2. Works Across Different Networks
AirSync doesn’t require all users to be on the same Wi-Fi network. That’s ideal for schools where students and staff are on different networks—or when hosting guest presenters.
3. Multiple Devices, One Display
AirSync supports split-screen mode for 4 to 9 participants. This makes it easy to run collaborative activities, compare student work, or encourage class discussion.
4. Interactive and Secure
With support for touchback compatible displays, AirSync helps make lessons more engaging. It also includes encryption and access controls, so you’re always in charge of who can cast and when.
5. Built for IT-Friendly Management
For schools using ViewSonic Manager, AirSync can be managed centrally—making it easier for IT teams to deploy, monitor, and troubleshoot across classrooms.
How AirSync Enhances Teaching and Learning
Here’s how AirSync contributes to more effective teaching and better student engagement:
Encourage Student Voice
Letting students cast their screens helps them take ownership of their learning. They can present projects, demonstrate work, and share ideas directly from their seats.
Make Lessons More Interactive
Use split-screen mode to display multiple student responses at once. It’s great for collaborative analysis, brainstorming, or comparing perspectives.
Support Inclusive Learning
Wireless casting allows more flexibility for students with mobility limitations or different learning preferences, enabling participation from anywhere in the room.
Save Time, Reduce Stress
No more delays due to cable issues or software installations. AirSync’s fast setup and reliable performance help keep lessons on track.
How Does AirSync Compare to Other Screen Sharing Tools?
There are several ways to share screens in the classroom—some more effective than others. Here’s how AirSync compares.
HDMI and USB-C Cables
Still widely used, but they come with limitations. Cables restrict mobility, require switching, and often lead to classroom clutter.
AirSync is wireless, supports multiple users, and eliminates the need for physical adapters.
Consumer Casting Devices (Chromecast, Apple TV, etc.)
Popular at home, but not always practical for schools. These devices typically support only one user at a time, lack centralized management, and often don’t work across networks.
AirSync, in contrast, is purpose-built for education and professional collaboration—with multi-user support and IT controls.
