What Is Barco ClickShare?
Barco ClickShare is a range of professional collaboration technologies designed to make it easier to present content and join video meetings from a meeting room.
At its simplest, ClickShare provides wireless presentation, allowing a user to display content from their laptop without relying on a traditional HDMI connection.
ClickShare Conference goes further by allowing a compatible laptop to use professional cameras, microphones and loudspeakers installed within the meeting room.
This creates a BYOM — Bring Your Own Meeting — experience.
Instead of using the small camera and speakers built into a laptop, the user can launch Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Cisco Webex, Google Meet or another conferencing platform while taking advantage of the professional AV equipment installed within the room.
For organisations that regularly work with clients, consultants and suppliers using different collaboration platforms, this flexibility can be extremely valuable.
For a broader look at this type of room design, explore GT's Wireless Presentation, BYOD & BYOM Solutions.
Barco ClickShare Integrator UK & Ireland | Wireless Conferencing & BYOD
Barco ClickShare is one of the best-known technologies for wireless presentation, BYOD and BYOM meeting rooms. It allows employees and visitors to walk into a meeting space, connect their laptop and start presenting or conferencing without depending on traditional HDMI cables or complicated room controls.
Gibb Technology designs, supplies, installs and supports Barco ClickShare meeting room systems across the UK, Ireland and EMEA. GT can integrate ClickShare with commercial displays, professional cameras, Neat, Logitech, Huddly, Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms and professional meeting room audio.
ClickShare has also developed beyond simple wireless presentation. The current Barco portfolio includes ClickShare Present, ClickShare Conference, ClickShare Bar and ClickShare Hub, giving organisations several different ways to design modern meeting spaces.
The important part is selecting the correct ClickShare platform for the room.
GT approaches this by looking at how people actually meet, which collaboration platforms they use, what equipment is already installed and how simple the room needs to be for employees and visitors.
The aim is not simply to install ClickShare. It is to make the meeting room easier to use.
Barco ClickShare for Corporate Meeting Rooms
ClickShare can be deployed in everything from a small huddle space to an executive boardroom.
The correct Barco ClickShare system depends on whether the space primarily requires wireless presentation, laptop-led conferencing, an integrated video bar, a native room system or a combination of these experiences.
GT starts with the room rather than the product.
The physical dimensions, table layout, collaboration platforms, camera requirements, microphone coverage, displays, existing equipment and user workflow all influence the final system.
This is the same approach GT takes across its wider Meeting Room AV Solutions.
A small meeting room may only need a straightforward ClickShare wireless conferencing system and camera. A larger boardroom may need ClickShare to operate alongside dual displays, multiple cameras, professional audio and a native Microsoft Teams Room.
The technology should change with the room while the experience remains simple for the user.
How Much Does a Barco ClickShare Meeting Room Cost?
The cost of a Barco ClickShare installation depends on the ClickShare model, room size and whether existing cameras, displays and audio equipment can be reused.
A simple wireless presentation room will normally cost less than a complete BYOM meeting room using professional cameras, microphones and commercial displays. Larger boardrooms may also require additional AV switching, professional audio, dual displays or integration with an existing Microsoft Teams Room.
GT can review the room and provide recommended equipment, budget guidance and a complete installed price rather than simply supplying a ClickShare unit without considering the wider meeting room.
Barco ClickShare Troubleshooting
Barco ClickShare Button Not Connecting
If a ClickShare Button is not connecting, the issue may relate to the Button, pairing, USB connectivity, software, firmware or the laptop itself.
The first step is to establish whether the laptop recognises the ClickShare Button and whether the Button remains correctly paired with the intended ClickShare Base Unit.
Corporate security policies can also affect USB devices and collaboration software.
If the ClickShare Button fails on several different laptops, this can indicate that the problem sits with the room system or Base Unit rather than one computer.
ClickShare Connected but Nothing Appears on the Display
A ClickShare connection can sometimes appear successful while no image reaches the meeting room display.
The cause is not necessarily the ClickShare unit.
The display may be using the wrong input or the wider AV system may contain switching, extension or control equipment between the ClickShare output and the screen.
This is particularly common in larger meeting rooms and boardrooms where several different content sources share the same displays.
GT troubleshoots the complete AV path rather than assuming the first device showing a problem is necessarily responsible for the fault.
Barco ClickShare Camera Not Working
If the ClickShare camera is not working, the first question is whether the room camera is visible to the user's laptop and conferencing application.
The problem may relate to USB connectivity, peripheral compatibility, firmware or another application already controlling the camera.
Microsoft Teams, Zoom and other conferencing applications can also remember previous camera selections.
If the camera does not appear as an available device at all, further investigation of the ClickShare and USB architecture may be required.
Barco ClickShare Microphone Not Working
A ClickShare microphone problem can have several possible causes.
The conferencing application may have selected the laptop's internal microphone rather than the meeting room microphone. The USB audio system may also not be reaching ClickShare correctly.
In more advanced meeting rooms, the microphone may connect through a DSP or professional audio architecture before reaching the conferencing system.
This makes it important to troubleshoot the full audio system rather than simply checking the ClickShare device.
GT's Meeting Room Audio Systems page explains how professional room audio can become more complex as spaces grow.
Microsoft Teams Cannot See the ClickShare Camera
If Microsoft Teams does not show the expected ClickShare room camera, start by checking the Teams device settings.
The room camera, microphone and speaker should appear as available conferencing devices when the BYOM system is operating correctly.
If they are missing completely, the problem may sit with the USB connection between ClickShare and the room peripherals.
If they appear but Teams is using a different device, the issue may simply be the application's saved device settings.
Recurring problems should be investigated at system level so users do not need to reconfigure Teams manually every time they enter the room.
ClickShare Button Needs Pairing Again
A ClickShare Button may occasionally need to be paired again with its Base Unit following configuration changes, maintenance or other system updates.
In environments with several ClickShare rooms, Buttons can also be moved accidentally between spaces.
Clear room identification and controlled device management can help prevent this from becoming a recurring user problem.
Which Barco ClickShare Is Right for Your Meeting Room?
The ClickShare portfolio now covers several different approaches to collaboration, which makes selecting the correct platform more important than simply choosing the newest or most powerful device.
The ClickShare C-series is focused primarily on wireless presentation.
The ClickShare CX range, including CX-20, CX-30 and CX-50 Gen2, is designed around wireless conferencing and laptop-led BYOM.
The ClickShare Bar range combines the ClickShare experience with integrated camera and audio technology.
The newer ClickShare Hub range provides a modular room-system approach for organisations looking for a dedicated conferencing experience alongside ClickShare collaboration capabilities.
GT can assess the room and recommend which approach fits the requirement rather than forcing every space into the same standard.
Barco ClickShare C-5 and C-10
Wireless Presentation for Meeting Rooms
The Barco ClickShare C-5 and C-10 are designed primarily around wireless presentation.
These systems are relevant where employees and guests mainly need to enter a meeting space and share content onto the room display without finding the correct cable or adapter.
This can work well in standard meeting rooms, training spaces, client presentation rooms and collaboration areas where full BYOM conferencing is not required.
The advantage is consistency.
Instead of every visitor having to understand how the display, switcher or presentation cabling works, ClickShare provides a more familiar route for sharing content.
GT can integrate ClickShare Present alongside professional displays, existing video conferencing systems and wired USB-C or HDMI connections where a physical backup connection is still desirable.
Learn more about how GT designs Wireless Presentation Systems and BYOD Meeting Rooms.
Barco ClickShare Conference
Wireless Conferencing and BYOM
Barco ClickShare Conference takes wireless collaboration beyond presentation.
With the correct room architecture, a user's laptop can access compatible cameras, microphones and loudspeakers installed within the meeting room.
The meeting itself continues to run on the user's computer.
This means someone can launch their normal Teams, Zoom, Webex or Google Meet application while using the professional AV technology within the room.
This can make ClickShare Conference particularly useful in workplaces where one meeting room needs to support invitations from several different conferencing platforms.
Rather than attempting to make every platform operate natively on the room system, ClickShare can provide a flexible laptop-led route when required.
Barco ClickShare CX-20
ClickShare for Small Meeting Rooms
The Barco ClickShare CX-20 is designed for wireless conferencing in smaller meeting rooms and huddle spaces.
It can provide a straightforward BYOM experience where the organisation wants users to run meetings from their own laptops while still benefiting from a dedicated meeting room camera and audio system.
This approach can be particularly useful for small client-facing rooms where visitors regularly need to join meetings from their own devices.
GT can integrate the CX-20 with compatible camera and audio technology to create a compact room that remains simple for employees and guests.
For organisations comparing ClickShare with other BYOD technologies, GT's Wireless Presentation & BYOD page explains the wider options.
Barco ClickShare CX-30
Wireless Conferencing for Small and Medium Meeting Rooms
The Barco ClickShare CX-30 extends the ClickShare Conference experience into small and medium meeting rooms that require additional collaboration capability.
It can provide a useful middle ground for organisations that want more than straightforward wireless conferencing without moving immediately to a larger boardroom architecture.
The CX-30 can also help organisations create a consistent ClickShare experience across several room sizes.
Employees can move between meeting spaces while continuing to use a familiar way of connecting their laptops and starting meetings.
For multi-site organisations, GT can standardise this approach across different offices while adjusting the camera, display and audio technology around the physical room.
Barco ClickShare CX-50 Gen2
Advanced ClickShare BYOM for Larger Meeting Rooms
The Barco ClickShare CX-50 2nd Generation is designed for more demanding collaboration spaces.
It is particularly relevant in larger meeting rooms and executive boardrooms where ClickShare may need to work alongside more advanced cameras, displays, professional audio or an existing room system.
One of the most useful applications is providing BYOM flexibility alongside a native meeting room experience.
An organisation may use Microsoft Teams Rooms for everyday internal meetings but still receive Zoom, Webex or Google Meet invitations from external organisations.
Rather than forcing users to handle the external meeting through their laptop camera and speakers, ClickShare can provide another route into the room's professional AV system.
This makes CX-50 Gen2 particularly interesting for organisations that want native conferencing when possible and BYOM flexibility when necessary.
Barco ClickShare With Microsoft Teams Rooms
Keep the Native Teams Experience While Adding Flexibility
Microsoft Teams Rooms are designed to make scheduled Teams meetings straightforward. Users enter the room, find the meeting on the controller and join.
The difficulty often comes when an external organisation sends an invitation using another conferencing platform.
ClickShare can provide an additional layer of flexibility.
A compatible room can retain its familiar native Microsoft Teams Room experience for everyday use while providing a BYOM option when someone needs to launch another meeting from their laptop.
The result can be a meeting room that remains simple for normal use without becoming restrictive when an unusual meeting invitation arrives.
GT designs and installs native Microsoft Teams Rooms across the UK, Ireland and EMEA, allowing the ClickShare architecture to be considered alongside the complete Teams Room rather than as an isolated accessory.
Barco ClickShare and Zoom Rooms
ClickShare can provide similar flexibility in workplaces standardised around Zoom.
A native Zoom Room can remain the normal meeting experience while laptop-led BYOM provides another route for Teams, Webex, Google Meet or another external platform.
The objective is not to make the room more complicated.
It is to give the user another option without taking away the simplicity of the organisation's preferred platform.
GT also designs dedicated Zoom Rooms for workplaces across the UK, Ireland and EMEA.
Barco ClickShare Bar Core
Integrated Wireless Conferencing for Smaller Rooms
The Barco ClickShare Bar Core combines the ClickShare collaboration experience with integrated camera, microphone and loudspeaker technology.
This can reduce the number of separate devices required around the display.
For smaller meeting rooms, an integrated video bar can create a particularly clean installation while still providing the familiar laptop-led ClickShare experience.
The important consideration is whether the integrated camera and audio system provide the right coverage for the room.
GT assesses room depth, seating positions, camera angles and microphone requirements before determining whether an integrated ClickShare Bar or a more modular room design will perform better.
Barco ClickShare Bar Pro
Advanced ClickShare Video Bar Meeting Rooms
The Barco ClickShare Bar Pro extends the integrated video-bar approach for more demanding meeting spaces.
It can be appropriate where an organisation wants the simplicity of a single front-of-room collaboration device while requiring more advanced meeting functionality.
An all-in-one video bar will not be the correct solution for every room.
Long tables, unusual seating arrangements, challenging acoustics and larger boardrooms may require separate cameras or professional microphones.
GT therefore compares the convenience of an integrated system against the performance requirements of the physical room before specifying the final solution.
Barco ClickShare Hub
ClickShare Moves Into Native Room Systems
ClickShare Hub is important because it expands the ClickShare platform beyond laptop-led BYOM.
The Hub architecture allows ClickShare to become part of a dedicated room conferencing environment while retaining the wireless collaboration experience associated with the platform.
This creates another option for organisations evaluating native room systems.
Instead of treating ClickShare purely as an addition to another manufacturer's meeting room platform, Barco can now form a more central part of the room architecture.
GT can integrate ClickShare Hub with compatible displays, cameras and professional audio systems according to the size and requirements of the room.
Barco ClickShare Hub Core
The ClickShare Hub Core provides a modular approach to meeting room design.
A modular platform can be particularly valuable where the camera and audio technology need to be selected independently from the room compute.
This allows the AV design to respond more closely to the room itself.
A compact collaboration room may require relatively simple peripherals, while a longer executive meeting space may benefit from more sophisticated camera coverage or dedicated microphones.
GT can design the surrounding system as part of the wider Video Conferencing and Meeting Room AV environment.
Barco ClickShare Hub Pro
The ClickShare Hub Pro extends the Hub architecture into more advanced meeting room environments.
This can be particularly relevant for larger rooms, premium collaboration spaces or dual-display installations where the meeting system needs greater flexibility.
As the room becomes more complex, the importance of designing cameras, microphones, displays and user control together becomes increasingly important.
GT considers ClickShare Hub as one component of the complete room rather than treating the conferencing appliance as the entire AV solution.
Barco ClickShare and Huddly
ClickShare With Huddly C1
Barco ClickShare can be combined with Huddly camera technology to create clean BYOM meeting room designs.
Huddly C1 can provide professional meeting room video and audio while ClickShare enables users to bring their own laptop and conferencing platform into the room.
This can create a strong option for smaller meeting rooms where an organisation wants to avoid a permanently dedicated room platform while still providing a better meeting experience than relying on the laptop's built-in camera.
The user can continue working in their familiar Teams, Zoom or other conferencing application while benefiting from technology designed specifically for the meeting room.
For larger spaces, Huddly's wider camera portfolio can provide additional design options where greater participant coverage is required.
Barco ClickShare and Neat
Add BYOM Flexibility to a Neat Meeting Room
Neat provides a particularly clean native meeting room experience for organisations using Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms.
ClickShare can provide another layer of flexibility when users need to join a meeting outside the normal room platform.
This can be especially valuable in client-facing meeting spaces and executive boardrooms, where external organisations may send invitations using several different conferencing applications.
The normal Neat room experience can remain unchanged for everyday meetings while ClickShare provides an alternative route when a laptop-led meeting is required.
GT already designs and installs Neat meeting room and video conferencing solutions across different room sizes.
Need to add BYOM to an existing Neat room?
Barco ClickShare and Logitech
ClickShare With Logitech Meeting Room Technology
Barco ClickShare can also form part of meeting rooms using Logitech video conferencing technology.
This can include systems based around Logitech Rally Bar, Rally Bar Mini and larger Rally-based designs.
The Logitech system can provide the professional camera and room audio while ClickShare gives users a flexible laptop-led conferencing route.
This can be particularly useful where an organisation has already invested in Logitech technology but wants to improve BYOM or guest collaboration.
GT checks the room architecture, USB connectivity, supported peripherals and required meeting workflow before defining how ClickShare should be integrated.
For organisations evaluating Logitech across multiple meeting spaces, explore GT's Logitech Video Conferencing Solutions.
Barco ClickShare With Professional Meeting Room Audio
When the Room Needs More Than a Video Bar
As meeting rooms become larger, microphone and loudspeaker coverage becomes increasingly important.
An integrated video bar may perform extremely well in a standard meeting room but struggle to deliver consistent voice pickup across a long boardroom table, training space or all-hands environment.
ClickShare can still provide the conferencing and collaboration layer while a professional audio system handles the room's microphone and loudspeaker requirements.
GT can integrate ClickShare with professional meeting room audio technologies including Shure, Biamp and Q-SYS, depending on the room requirements and supported system architecture.
The objective is to ensure that people at both ends of the meeting can hear and be heard clearly, regardless of where they are sitting.
Explore GT's approach to Meeting Room Audio Systems and Professional Workplace Audio.
Barco ClickShare for BYOD and BYOM
What Is the Difference Between BYOD and BYOM?
BYOD means Bring Your Own Device.
In the context of a meeting room, this may simply mean bringing a laptop into the room and displaying content on the room screen.
BYOM means Bring Your Own Meeting.
The user's laptop not only provides the content but also runs the video conference and uses compatible meeting room cameras, microphones and loudspeakers.
This distinction matters when selecting a ClickShare system.
An organisation that only needs wireless presentation may not require the same technology as one that expects employees and visitors to run full video meetings from their laptops.
GT's Wireless Presentation and BYOD Meeting Room guide explores these different approaches in more detail.
Barco ClickShare for Boardrooms
BYOM for Executive Meeting Spaces
Boardrooms require more careful AV engineering than a typical small meeting room.
Longer viewing distances, larger displays, multiple cameras, microphone coverage, room acoustics and executive expectations can all influence the design.
ClickShare can provide useful flexibility within this environment.
A boardroom may use a native Microsoft Teams Room for most scheduled meetings while ClickShare provides BYOM when a visitor or executive needs to run another conferencing platform.
The larger room may also require professional ceiling microphones, digital signal processing and installed loudspeakers rather than relying entirely on the audio built into a video bar.
GT designs Boardroom AV Systems around the complete space, allowing ClickShare to be integrated alongside the wider camera, audio, display and room-control system.
