Faculty, staff, and students are now able to connect to classroom wireless displays using AirPlay. If you are using a Macintosh computer or iOS device (iPhone, iPad) you will now be able to share your screen to WirelessDisplay units in campus classrooms without needing an app (Extron Sharelink).    

ITS enabled AirPlay because of changes Apple has made with its newest operating system (OS), Catalina. For users who have purchased computers with Catalina pre-installed, or have upgraded to Catalina, the Sharelink application will no longer work.    

If you have not upgraded to Catalina, and are currently using the Sharelink app to connect to classrooms, you may keep using this option or switch to using AirPlay. Windows users will continue to connect via the Sharelink app.
