What ClickShare Does
The wireless conferencing standard the world's boardrooms already trust
A visiting client sits down in your boardroom, opens their laptop, and looks up — waiting to be told how to connect. With ClickShare, nobody has to tell them anything. They press the Button on the table, and their screen is up with the room's camera, microphone and speakers already serving their laptop — wirelessly. Barco has been refining this one idea since 2012, and the Barco wireless presentation system is now the most recognised name in the category, deployed in corporate boardrooms worldwide.
The Button — no software, ever
A USB wireless dongle that lives on the meeting table. Plug it into any laptop — Windows or Mac, employee or guest, locked-down corporate machine or personal device — and press. Your screen is up and the room AV is yours. Nothing to install, no admin rights needed, no network login.
Guest-proof by design
Triple agnostic
Your laptop, your conferencing platform, your brand of USB peripheral — ClickShare works with all of them. Teams today, Zoom tomorrow, Webex for the client call: the room doesn't care. The camera can be AVer, Poly, Logitech or Yealink. No lock-in at any layer.
Laptop · UC platform · Peripherals
Casting built in
AirPlay for iPhone and Mac, Google Cast for Android and Chrome, Miracast for Windows — guests can share a screen with no Button and no app at all. PresentSense detection connects App users automatically as they walk into the room.
AirPlay · Google Cast · Miracast
ClickShare in Your Video Meetings
Three ways ClickShare runs your video calls — including alongside the room system you already own
Wireless screen sharing is only the start. The real question is what happens when the meeting is a video call — with remote people, a room camera, and sometimes a Teams Room already installed. ClickShare handles all three situations.
1 · Your laptop runs the meeting on the room's AV
The room has a USB camera and speakerphone — AVer, Poly, Logitech or Yealink. Plug the Button, open Teams, Zoom or Webex on your own laptop, and the call uses the room's professional camera, microphone and speakers instead of your laptop's built-in hardware. Remote participants see and hear the whole room. The meeting is yours; the AV is the room's.
BYOM · Any platform · Any USB camera
2 · People and content on screen together
During the call, ConferenceView keeps remote participants' video visible while you share your presentation — nobody disappears behind the slides. On ultrawide 21:9 displays, people and content sit side by side. And if the host leaves mid-meeting, the room hands over: a participant with a running Teams meeting takes control of the display and peripherals without restarting anything.
ConferenceView · 21:9 · Host handoff
3 · Alongside your existing Teams Room
Already have a Microsoft Teams Room bar installed? Keep it. With the CX-50 Gen 2, the room switches automatically: scheduled internal meetings run on the Teams Room as normal — then a visitor plugs the ClickShare Button for their Zoom or Webex call, and the room's camera and audio serve their laptop instead. Unplug, and the room is a Teams Room again. One room, every platform, no second camera.
Auto-switching · CX-50 Gen 2
How it connects: the guest laptop runs the meeting, the ClickShare CX-30 bridges the room display, camera and audio wirelessly.
One check before scenario 3: automatic switching works with collaboration bars and modular room setups that offer a USB device (BYOD) mode — most current bars do. Send us your room system model on WhatsApp and we confirm before you spend anything.
January 2026 Update
ClickShare Gen 2 — what changed and why it matters for your cameras
You compare two quotes for the same ClickShare model and one is cheaper — what the cheaper quote may not say is which generation is in the box. In January 2026 Barco moved the C-5, C-10, CX-20 and CX-30 to 2nd generation hardware, joining the CX-50 Gen 2. Here is what actually changed — and why it decides which camera you can use.
Gen 1 (previous)
USB 2.0 ports
Gen 1 CX units operate USB 2.0 ports, so connected cameras must support USB 2.0 data rates. Most cameras have this mode — but newer 4K cameras and video bars run compressed or reduced settings over USB 2.0. Gen 1 units remain fully supported by Barco firmware and XMS Cloud.
Gen 2 (current generation)
USB 3.0 ports
All USB ports upgraded to USB 3.0. Gen 2 units support USB 3.0 peripherals natively — full-bandwidth 4K cameras, modern video bars, higher-spec audio devices. Same functions and capabilities otherwise, same Buttons, same XMS Cloud. If you are buying new in 2026, Gen 2 is the version to specify.
Why this matters when you buy: some sellers still ship Gen 1 stock without saying so. If your camera plan includes a current 4K USB camera or video bar, confirm the unit is Gen 2. VDS supplies the current Gen 2 range and states the generation on every quote.
The Range · AED Pricing
Every ClickShare model — matched to the room, priced in AED
Five models can feel like a puzzle — it isn't one. Each ClickShare maps to a room size and a job, and the table below shows exactly which is which, priced in AED with supply, installation and configuration included. The final quote moves only with display count, network integration and camera bundling — never a surprise.

The room favourite: CX-30 Gen 2
For the standard 6–12 person meeting room — the most common room size in UAE offices — the ClickShare CX-30 is the model we quote most: full wireless conferencing, two Buttons in the box, touch-back and annotation support, at a mid-range price. If you are standardising multiple rooms, CX-30 typically carries the bulk of the fleet with CX-50 Gen 2 reserved for the boardroom.
Gen 2 set part numbers follow Barco's R986 series — for example CX-50 Gen 2 EU set R9861622EUB2 (includes 2 USB-C Buttons); regional suffixes vary between EU and US sets. VDS quotes the exact regional part number on every quotation. A note on model names: there is no ClickShare CX-10, C-20 or C-3010S — buyers searching those usually mean the C-10 or CX-20. And ClickShare is not Samsung Quick Share — they are unrelated products; ClickShare is Barco's meeting room system. Beyond the CX base units, Barco's range extends to the ClickShare Bar Pro and Bar Core all-in-one video bars — available through VDS across the UAE.
Not sure which model? Send your room size and camera plan on WhatsApp — we recommend the right CX and quote same business day. The CX-50 Gen 2 upper range covers dual-display boardroom integration with camera bundling.
Features That Arrive Free
Your ClickShare keeps getting better — features that arrive free over its life
Barco ships major feature updates through firmware — free and continuous. These are capabilities your ClickShare gains over its life, delivered automatically when the unit stays updated. The system you buy today is better in a year, without spending another dirham.
Automatic room-to-BYOM switching
Firmware 2.17 lets the CX-50 Gen 2 switch automatically from an in-room video conferencing system to Bring Your Own Meeting mode — for collaboration bars and modular setups. A Teams Room by default, anyone's laptop meeting on demand. One room, both worlds.
FW 2.17 · CX-50 Gen 2
Host handoff
When the meeting host ends or leaves, the Base Unit notifies all connected users and releases the host role — a participant with an ongoing Teams meeting takes over, including control of the display and peripherals. The meeting continues without a restart.
Smart Meeting Flow
Smart Meeting Flows + HostFlow
Intent-based automated workflows in the ClickShare App: room availability check, automated meeting start, advanced sharing — guided, not manual. HostFlow works in both Microsoft Teams and Zoom calls, guiding you as host or participant from the moment you kick off.
Teams + Zoom
21:9 ultrawide ConferenceView
An advanced layout for ultrawide screens shows remote people and shared content side by side — the equitable hybrid meeting view. Dual display sharing was added by firmware in late 2024. Boardrooms with ultrawide or twin displays get the full benefit.
CX-50 Gen 2 · Dual display
PresentSense — walk in and connect
Enhanced presence detection connects ClickShare App users automatically as they enter the meeting room. No searching for the room, no pairing screen — the room recognises you arrived and offers the connection.
App presence detection
Mass deployment for IT
Simplified mass deployment of the ClickShare App and optional drivers across the organisation, plus room availability configuration in XMS Cloud. Rolling ClickShare out to 50 rooms is an IT project measured in days, not months.
Enterprise rollout

Enterprise Security · The Detail IT Asks For
The security architecture behind the one-click simplicity
For a bank in DIFC, a government office in Abu Dhabi, or any enterprise with a real IT security policy, "it's encrypted" is not an answer. Here is what ClickShare actually carries — from Barco's own security documentation — and why IT departments sign off on it.
Four ISO certifications + IoT standard
ClickShare is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (information security management), 27017 (cloud security), 27018 (cloud privacy/PII) and ISO 9001. The CX-50 Gen 2 is additionally certified by SGS to ETSI EN 303 645 — the European standard for IoT cybersecurity. These are audited certifications, not marketing claims.
27001 · 27017 · 27018 · EN 303 645
A real PSIRT — not a promise
Barco operates a dedicated Product Security Incident Response Team that publishes security advisories when vulnerabilities are found — with CVE identifiers — and ships hotfix firmware promptly. Security-by-design and privacy-by-design from the first stage of development, with third-party penetration testing.
CVE advisories · Hotfix process
Hardware-level trust chain
Every device carries a unique elliptic-curve certificate signed by Barco's own Certification Authority — hosted on-premises, physically decoupled from the corporate network. Button firmware is signed, encrypted, integrity-checked from the bootloader and locked to its hardware, with keys in one-time-programmable memory. The flash filesystem is encrypted against reverse engineering.
ECDSA certs · Encrypted flash
Enterprise network authentication
The Base Unit supports Wired Authentication on Ethernet using PEAP, EAP-TLS or EAP-TTLS — it joins 802.1X-protected corporate networks the way a managed laptop does. Your network team doesn't make an exception for the meeting room box; the box meets the network's standard.
PEAP · EAP-TLS · EAP-TTLS
Firewall air-gap, pentested
An on-device firewall separates the corporate network side from the guest/AV wireless side — verified by penetration tests executed by a third party. Guests share and conference without their devices ever touching the corporate network. Both interfaces run IPv4-only traffic for a controlled surface.
Network separation · 3rd-party pentested
Three configurable security levels
ClickShare offers three security levels set through the Configurator — each clearly stating its consequences. Higher levels enforce stricter controls with reduced legacy compatibility. A trading floor and a training room don't need the same posture; the platform lets IT choose, room by room. VDS configures this at installation against your policy.
Risk-matched per room
The bottom line: most wireless presentation systems are consumer devices in business packaging. ClickShare is engineered, certified and audited as enterprise IT equipment. When your security team asks the hard questions — certificates, network separation, vulnerability process — ClickShare has documented answers. VDS provides the full Barco security documentation with every enterprise quotation.
XMS Cloud · Fleet Management
Manage every room from one dashboard — without walking to any of them
One ClickShare unit is a meeting room upgrade. Twenty units across two buildings is a fleet — and fleets need management. XMS Cloud is Barco's answer, included with SmartCare and inside the ISO 27001 certification scope.
Worldwide fleet view
Every Base Unit across every building, branch and city in one dashboard. Health status, connectivity, firmware version — visible at a glance. CX-20, CX-30 and CX-50 connect to XMS Cloud directly with no extra hardware.
Direct cloud access · CX series
Remote + scheduled firmware
Update one room or every room — remotely, on a schedule, outside office hours. Proactive intervention before users notice a problem. The free XMS Virtual Edge gateway (an OVA on a local server) brings older CS/CSE units into the same dashboard.
Zero room visits
Workplace analytics
Room occupancy, meeting frequency, BYOD adoption, utilisation per space — the data facilities and IT need to right-size meeting rooms and prove ROI on the collaboration investment. Which rooms are fought over and which sit empty: now you know.
Occupancy · Adoption · ROI
VDS configures XMS Cloud at installation — units registered, your IT team onboarded to the dashboard, update schedule set. SmartCare's five-year coverage and analytics are active from day one, not left as a box unticked.
Cameras & Peripherals · The Honest Version
Which cameras work with ClickShare — the detail that saves a wrong purchase
ClickShare Conference bridges the room's USB camera, microphone and speakers to the guest laptop. It works with a wide ecosystem — but there are real technical rules, and knowing them before you buy is the difference between a clean install and a support ticket.
The rules that matter
USB generation: Gen 1 CX units need cameras supporting USB 2.0 data rates. Gen 2 units support USB 3.0 devices natively — full-bandwidth 4K.
HDMI cameras: supported via an HDMI-to-USB converter — your existing PTZ camera is not a dead end.
Displays: output is standard HDMI — Samsung, LG, BenQ, Sony or any commercial display works.
Power: only USB 2.0-power peripherals run directly off the Base Unit; hungrier devices need a powered USB hub or the USB-C connector where listed.
Validation: Barco's ClickShare Alliance program maintains a validated list with two tiers — certified and compatible — so interoperability is tested, not assumed.

Already Own ClickShare?
Support, upgrades and the legacy CSE-200 question
Thousands of ClickShare units run in UAE offices today — many of them older CSE-200, CSE-800 and CS-100 models still doing daily duty. If you own one, two things matter: keeping it healthy now, and knowing the upgrade path. VDS supports ClickShare units across the UAE — including ones we didn't sell.
Running a CSE-200, CSE-800 or CS-100?
The CSE and CS generation — CSE-200, CSE-200+, CSE-800, CSE-100, CS-100, CSM-1 and CSC-1 — is discontinued; Barco's current range is the C and CX series. Your unit still works, but the gap grows each year: legacy models need the XMS Virtual Edge gateway for cloud management (current CX units connect directly), they predate ClickShare Conference so there is no wireless camera and microphone bridging (BYOM), and newer firmware features land on the current platform only.
The upgrade path: a CSE-200 room maps naturally to a CX-20 or CX-30 Gen 2 — same one-click sharing your team already knows, plus full wireless conferencing, USB 3.0 camera support and direct XMS Cloud management. VDS quotes the replacement, reuses your display and network drop, and the room is upgraded in an afternoon. Holding an old R986-series part number from a previous quote or invoice? Send it on WhatsApp — we identify the model and its current replacement.

ClickShare not behaving? Common fixes first
Button not pairing: re-pair by plugging the Button into the Base Unit's USB port — pairing runs automatically.
Not connecting / keeps disconnecting: usually firmware mismatch or Wi-Fi interference; update the Base Unit via XMS Cloud, the ClickShare Configurator, or a USB stick.
Status LED blinking unusually: note the colour and pattern before restarting — it identifies the state and speeds up diagnosis.
Still on the default admin password? Change it — an unchanged default password is the most common ClickShare security gap we find in audits.
If the fix isn't obvious, WhatsApp us the model and the symptom — VDS diagnoses and services ClickShare units across all seven emirates, with support contracts available for fleets.

Why VDS for ClickShare
An authorized partner who installs what it sells
Authorized Barco ClickShare partner
VDS is an authorized ClickShare partner — genuine units, current Gen 2 stock, SmartCare registration handled, and access to Barco partner support when an installation needs it. Active installations across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain — all seven emirates, plus DMCC, DIFC and JLT free zones.
The camera comes from the same place
ClickShare needs a camera to conference — and VDS is the regional AVer USB VC distributor, also carrying Poly, Logitech and Yealink. We quote ClickShare and the camera as one tested bundle. When something needs attention, there is one supplier responsible for the whole room, not two vendors pointing at each other.
Demo in your boardroom — then decide
We bring ClickShare to your room, connect it to your display and your camera, and your team presses the Button themselves. Since 2010 we have built meeting rooms across the UAE — the demo costs you an hour and removes every assumption from the decision.
★★★★★
"Our compliance team rejected two wireless systems before this. VDS brought the ClickShare security documentation — the ISO certifications, the network separation detail — and IT approved it in a week. The CX-50 has run in our boardroom since without a single ticket."
★★★★★
"We ordered six CX-30 units from VDS for our Lagos head office. Export paperwork was clean, units arrived with the Buttons paired, and they helped us set up XMS Cloud remotely so we manage all six rooms from one screen. Professional from quote to handover."
★★★★★
"We had a Logitech camera already installed. VDS confirmed compatibility before we paid, supplied the CX-20, and the whole room was wireless in an afternoon. Guests press the Button and present — nobody has asked for an HDMI cable since."
Barco ClickShare — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ClickShare Gen 1 and Gen 2?
In January 2026 Barco introduced 2nd generation versions of the C-5, C-10, CX-20 and CX-30, joining the CX-50 Gen 2. The key upgrade: all USB ports moved from USB 2.0 to USB 3.0. Gen 1 units require cameras that support USB 2.0 data rates; Gen 2 units support USB 3.0 peripherals natively, which matters for newer 4K cameras and video bars. Functions and capabilities are otherwise the same. VDS supplies the current Gen 2 range in the UAE.
Which ClickShare model is right for my meeting room?
C-5 and C-10 are wireless presentation models for huddle and small rooms where screen sharing is the main need. CX-20 adds full wireless conferencing (BYOM) for huddle and small rooms. CX-30 covers medium rooms with touch-back and annotation support. CX-50 Gen 2 is the premium boardroom unit with 4K60 output, dual-display support and the deepest feature set. VDS assesses your room and recommends the right model — not the most expensive one.
How much does Barco ClickShare cost in Dubai?
Indicative VDS pricing including supply, installation and configuration: ClickShare C-5 from AED 3,850 to 4,800. C-10 Gen 2 from AED 8,300 to 9,900. CX-20 Gen 2 from AED 8,950 to 10,500. CX-30 Gen 2 from AED 11,250 to 13,900. CX-50 Gen 2 from AED 12,500 to 19,500 depending on dual-display and boardroom integration scope. WhatsApp us your room details for an exact same-day quote.
What is the ClickShare Button and do I need the app?
The ClickShare Button is a USB device that plugs into any laptop — press it once and your screen is on the room display, with the room camera and microphone connected to your laptop. No software installation is needed for Button sharing, which makes it ideal for guests and locked-down corporate laptops. The ClickShare Desktop and Mobile App is an optional alternative that adds features like calendar integration and Smart Meeting Flows. CX-30 and CX-50 ship with two Buttons, CX-20 with one.
Does ClickShare work with Microsoft Teams and Zoom?
Yes. ClickShare is triple-agnostic: it works with your laptop, your conferencing platform and your brand of USB peripheral. Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Webex — whatever runs on the laptop uses the room camera, microphone and speakers through ClickShare. HostFlow guides meeting hosts in both Teams and Zoom calls, and recent firmware adds automatic switching from an in-room system to BYOM mode.
Which cameras and microphones work with ClickShare?
ClickShare Conference works with standard USB cameras and audio devices — AVer, Poly, Logitech, Yealink USB models and many more. Gen 1 CX units require USB 2.0 data-rate cameras; Gen 2 units support USB 3.0 devices natively. HDMI cameras connect via an HDMI-to-USB converter. Devices needing more than USB 2.0 power require a powered USB hub. Barco maintains a validated peripherals list through its ClickShare Alliance program, with certified and compatible tiers. VDS stocks compatible AVer and Poly cameras and supplies tested camera-plus-ClickShare bundles.
How secure is ClickShare for a corporate network?
ClickShare carries ISO/IEC 27001:2022, 27017 and 27018 certifications plus ISO 9001, and the CX-50 Gen 2 is SGS-certified to ETSI EN 303 645, the IoT cybersecurity standard. Security architecture includes encrypted traffic, elliptic-curve device certificates, signed and encrypted Button firmware locked to hardware, an encrypted flash filesystem, and a firewall separation between the corporate and AV network sides that has been penetration-tested by third parties. Barco operates a dedicated Product Security Incident Response Team that publishes security advisories and hotfixes. VDS configures the security level appropriate to your IT policy during installation.
Can ClickShare join our corporate network with enterprise authentication?
Yes. The Base Unit supports Wired Authentication on its Ethernet interface using PEAP, EAP-TLS or EAP-TTLS, so it can authenticate onto 802.1X-protected corporate networks the same way managed laptops do — Cisco enterprise wireless environments included. Guests connect through the ClickShare wireless channel without touching the corporate network — the two sides are separated by an on-device firewall. VDS handles the network integration with your IT team during installation.
What are ClickShare security levels?
ClickShare offers three configurable security levels, set through the ClickShare Configurator. Higher levels enforce stricter controls; the trade-off is reduced compatibility with first-generation components. Choosing the right level depends on your internal risk analysis — a marketing office and a bank boardroom do not need the same posture. VDS advises on and configures the appropriate level during installation.
What is XMS Cloud and do I need it?
XMS Cloud is Barco's management platform for ClickShare fleets — remote firmware updates, device health monitoring, configuration and workplace analytics including room occupancy and BYOD adoption, all from one dashboard with worldwide access. CX-20, CX-30 and CX-50 connect to XMS Cloud directly. XMS Cloud is included with SmartCare and sits inside Barco's ISO 27001 certification scope. For a single room it is optional; for five or more rooms it is the difference between managing a fleet and walking to each room.
What is SmartCare and what warranty does ClickShare have?
Registering your ClickShare unit upgrades coverage to the five-year SmartCare package, which includes the extended warranty, higher service levels, XMS Cloud access and analytics. VDS registers every unit we supply as part of installation, so the five-year coverage is active from day one.
Does ClickShare support AirPlay, Google Cast and Miracast?
Yes. ClickShare supports native casting via AirPlay (iOS/macOS), Google Cast (Android/Chrome) and Miracast (Windows), so guests can share without any Button or app at all. The CX-50 Gen 2 supports up to 4K UHD output at 60Hz, with a 100-foot wireless reach between Button and Base Unit.
What is Barco ClickShare and how does it work?
Barco ClickShare is a wireless presentation and conferencing system. A Base Unit connects to the room display, camera and microphone; users connect from their laptop via the ClickShare Button (a USB wireless dongle), the ClickShare App, or native casting (AirPlay, Google Cast, Miracast). Press once and your screen is on the display — on conferencing models, the room camera and mic also connect to your laptop wirelessly, so Teams or Zoom on your device uses the room's professional AV. Connection takes under seven seconds with no cables and no network login.
Does ClickShare work with Mac?
Yes. ClickShare works on macOS 11 (Big Sur) and higher — the Button works on Mac with no software installation, and the ClickShare Desktop App has a Mac version. AirPlay casting from MacBooks, iMacs, iPhones and iPads is also supported natively. Windows 10 and higher, Android 11+ and iOS 14+ are equally supported, so a mixed Mac-and-Windows office works on one system. (macOS was formerly branded OS X — the same support applies.) There is no official Linux desktop app; Windows and macOS are the supported desktop platforms.
Where do I download the ClickShare App, drivers and firmware?
All ClickShare software — the Desktop App for Windows and Mac, mobile apps, firmware and the Extension Pack — is downloaded free from Barco's official site at barco.com (Support section). An MSI installer of the Desktop App is available for IT mass deployment. Base Unit firmware can also update automatically, or be scheduled through XMS Cloud, applied via the ClickShare Configurator, or installed from a USB stick. VDS sets up automatic updates during installation and can update fleets remotely under a support contract.
My ClickShare is not connecting or the LED is blinking — what should I do?
Start with the basics: re-pair the Button by plugging it into the Base Unit's USB port (pairing runs automatically), and make sure the Base Unit firmware is current — most connection and disconnection issues trace to outdated firmware or Wi-Fi interference. Note the LED colour and blinking pattern before restarting, as it identifies the unit's state. If the problem persists, WhatsApp VDS the model and symptom — we diagnose and service ClickShare units across the UAE, including units we did not originally supply.
Is the ClickShare CSE-200 discontinued and what should replace it?
Yes — the CSE-200, CSE-800 and CS-100 generation is discontinued; Barco's current range is the C and CX series. Legacy units still work but need the XMS Virtual Edge gateway for cloud management and do not support wireless conferencing (BYOM). The natural replacement for a CSE-200 room is the CX-20 or CX-30 Gen 2 — the same one-click sharing plus full wireless conferencing and USB 3.0 camera support. VDS quotes the upgrade reusing your existing display and network, and the swap takes an afternoon.
Can I buy extra ClickShare Buttons, trays and wall mounts in Dubai?
Yes. VDS supplies genuine ClickShare accessories across the UAE — additional Buttons (USB-C), Button trays and holders for the meeting table, and wall-mount kits for Base Units. Extra Buttons are pre-paired during installation, or can be paired by plugging them into the Base Unit. WhatsApp us the model of your Base Unit and we quote the matching accessories same day.
Is Google Cast being discontinued on ClickShare?
Yes. Barco has announced that Google Cast streaming will be unavailable on ClickShare after September 2026. Android users can continue sharing wirelessly via Miracast or the free ClickShare App; AirPlay for Apple devices is not affected, and the ClickShare Button works exactly as before. The practical step is keeping your Base Unit firmware current through the transition. VDS handles this automatically for fleets under support contracts, and can update standalone units on request anywhere in the UAE.
Can ClickShare drive two displays in a boardroom?
The CX-50 Gen 2 supports dual-display setups and dual display sharing, and recent firmware adds an advanced 21:9 ultrawide ConferenceView layout that shows people and content side by side. For boardrooms with two screens or an ultrawide display, CX-50 Gen 2 is the model to specify. VDS installs and configures dual-screen boardrooms across the UAE.
Can ClickShare work alongside our existing Microsoft Teams Room?
Yes — and this is one of the strongest reasons enterprises add ClickShare. With the CX-50 Gen 2 (firmware 2.17 and later), the room switches automatically between the native Teams Room and BYOM mode: scheduled meetings run on the Teams Room as normal, and when a guest plugs the ClickShare Button for a Zoom, Webex or other call, the room's camera and audio serve their laptop instead. When they unplug, the room reverts. The room system needs a USB device (BYOD) mode, which most current collaboration bars offer — VDS confirms compatibility for your specific bar before quoting.
What are Smart Meeting Flows and host handoff?
Smart Meeting Flows are intent-based automated workflows in the ClickShare App: room availability check, automated meeting start, and advanced sharing options without manual steps. Host handoff means that when the meeting host leaves, the Base Unit notifies connected users and releases the host role — a participant with an ongoing Teams meeting can take over, including control of the display and peripherals. These features arrive through firmware updates and materially change the daily meeting experience.
How long does ClickShare installation take in Dubai?
A single-room ClickShare installation typically takes two to four hours: mounting, display connection, network configuration, security level setup, Button pairing, XMS Cloud registration and testing. No Ethernet point in the room? Current CX firmware supports Wireless Client Mode — the Base Unit joins the office network over Wi-Fi, so a missing network drop does not block the installation. Multi-room rollouts are scheduled room by room to keep the office running. VDS installs across all seven UAE emirates and books outside peak meeting hours where required.
Do you supply and install Barco ClickShare across all UAE emirates?
Yes. As of 2026, VDS supplies and installs Barco ClickShare across all seven UAE emirates — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain — with active client installations across more than 40 business districts and free zones.

Does ClickShare work with Etisalat and du office internet in the UAE?
Yes. ClickShare runs on your local office network and its own wireless channel between Button and Base Unit — it does not depend on internet provider or speed. Etisalat, du or any other UAE connectivity works the same. Internet is only needed for XMS Cloud management and firmware updates. VDS has deployed ClickShare on both Etisalat and du business connections across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
