AirMedia is a system that allows users to wirelessly cast their laptop/phone/tablet screens to a conference room's displays. AirMedia is now built into some of our A/V conference rooms. Currently supported rooms include:

  • MH-107
  • MH-122 (CS Undergrad Lab.)

Let's say you're in a meeting in MH-107 with your laptop. MH-107 has two side-by-side large TV monitors. You have a slide presentation that you want displayed on the screens. Simply activate AirMedia on laptop and you can cast to those screens.
