Mezzanine Screencast is an application that runs on your laptop, and allows you to share your screen with others from within a Mezzanine room.
Mezzanine Screencast is available for Windows and Mac. For Windows users who can’t use the installer, download the file here.
Screencast only works when in a Mezzanine room. Use it to share your screen on the room displays, and with others connected in other Mezzanine rooms or remotely.
Download the latest Screencast for Windows or Mac. Open the downloaded file and complete the installation. Screencast will be added to your taskbar (Windows) or menu bar (Mac) and the application will launch automatically.
When you enter a Mezzanine room with the app running, auto discovery will automatically connect you when you enter your Mezzanine room. Click on the app icon in the menu bar (Mac) or taskbar (Windows), or on the notification that appears once you are connected. Click SHARE MY SCREEN to start sharing on the room screens, and STOP SHARING when finished.
The older version of Screencast is still available for download for Mac and Windows. For Windows users who can’t use the installer, download the file here. If your system has been updated to support the new Screencast app and you received a “Version mismatch” alert while using the old app, use the download links above to update the old app to the latest version.
Mezzanine Screencast will disconnect automatically when you leave the room. You can also disconnect manually via the button next to the room name.
Cursor control is not supported in Mezzanine Screencast at this time. However, Mezzanine remains compatible with the older version of the app, which does support cursor control. You can download the older version of Screencast for Mac and Windows. For Windows users who can’t use the installer, download the file here. If your system has been updated to support the new Screencast app and you received a “Version mismatch” alert while using the old app, use the download links above to update the old app to the latest version.
Mezzanine Screencast does not contain audio or video chat capabilities. To communicate with others, join a meeting from a Mezzanine room or as a remote participant using Mezz-In.
If a meeting is already scheduled for your Mezzanine room, click the JOIN MEETING button. If you have a meeting link, you can start that meeting at any time by clicking Join with Link. Enter the meeting link at the prompt and click JOIN MEETING.
If you haven't already joined a Mezzanine meeting, click the INVITE OTHERS button to generate a link. Once it's been generated, copy the link and send it to your invitees. For a meeting already in progress, the link remains visible in Screencast above the list of participants. Just copy and send it.
Click the LEAVE MEETING button and you will be prompted to specify who is leaving the meeting. Click JUST ME if only you are leaving the meeting. Click EVERYONE IN ROOM to disconnect your Mezzanine room from the meeting.
Mezzanine Screencast uses inaudible high frequency audio signals to communicate the Mezzanine hostname through your laptop’s microphone. Your device then connects to the Mezzanine via Wifi.
Screencast runs in the background, but will only connect when you enter a Mezzanine room. Once connected, you still have full control over when your screen gets shared.
Mezzanine Screencast only listens to ultrasonic signals, which are above the range of human hearing. The app will not listen to any sounds in the audible range, and will not make any recordings of what it hears.
Only Mezzanine 200, 300, and 600 Series systems enabled for audio output are supported at this time. Contact your local admin to see if your room is compatible with automatic connection.
Your laptop must be connected to the same Wifi network as the Mezzanine room and auto discovery must be enabled on that Mezzanine.
You can always connect manually if auto discovery is unavailable. Just enter the name of the Mezzanine room you're in when prompted. The room name is found at the top of the Mezzanine screens.
