Why does it turn to full screen automatically when I select InstaShare "2-Split Screen" or "4-Split Screen" to play YouTube video with an iPhone?
When YouTube video is played through an iPhone, it will turn to full screen automatically, this is a known behavior for iOS devices.
A USB device or adapter dongle doesn’t work or interferes with other USB devices randomly. How can I make them work properly?
USB 3.0 has been found to cause interference that may hinder the performance of nearby wireless devices in the 2.4GHz band, including RF devices, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.
For wireless devices in the 2.4GHz range, we suggest using the USB port on the front I/O. If the connected device's manual recommends a different USB port, do follow those guidelines.
For more details, please refer to the below white paper from Intel.
Why can't I pair my IAM (Identity and Access Management) account with AMS (Account Management System), DMS (Device Management Solution), or X-Sign Broadcast?
Currently, AMS, DMS, and X-Sign Broadcast may all only be paired to one unified IAM admin account. If different IAM admin accounts are used, pairing will fail. For example, if DMS is paired already to an IAM account, you won't be able to pair AMS or X-Sign Broadcast with a new IAM account unless other BenQ services (EX: DMS) are deleted. In essence, AMS, DMS, and X-Sign go together with one IAM account and all need to be unpaired to switch IAM account association.
If you would like to pair software with a new IAM account, please delete the devices in associated BenQ services (DMS, AMS, Broadcast) from the corresponding web site. If other BenQ services are deleted but still encounter a pairing issue, please record the MAC address and contact your local BenQ service center for further assistance.
Why is there a rectangular box on the lower-right part of the screen? Can I remove it?
This is the new app storage visual area in our launcher, and you may put frequently used apps inside the box. The box cannot be removed.
What should I do if I added my IFP to the X-Sign broadcast again but X-Sign Broadcast had already been bound?
(1) Log in to X-Sign broadcast with your admin account and find the IFP to update it to the latest version (V2.3).
(2) Delete the duplicate IFP that shows as online.
(3) The offline IFP will go online and take effect, and the cross-service binding mechanism will activate as well.
Why is my device still showing as "offline" after updating to X-Sign Broadcast V2.3?
(1) Log in to X-Sign Broadcast with your admin account and find the IFP then remove it.
(2) Log in to DMS Cloud with your admin account, find the IFP and remove it.
(3) Re-bind the IFP with the DMS Client app.
Why can't my device be bound to another admin account and is still showing as bound to the previous admin account?
(1) Login to your AMS Web using the admin account, then find the IFP and remove it.
(2) Login to your DMS Cloud with the admin account, then find the IFP and remove it.
(3) Do a factory reset on the IFP.
(4) Re-bind the IFP with the DMS Client app.
(5) Add the IFP to the AMS service again.
(6) Enable the AMS service on the IFP.

Why is it required to install the "Eumus Design Sound Cards & Media Devices" during the InstaShare installation process?
"Eumus Design Sound Cards & Media Devices" is a virtual audio card. As there are too many audio cards on the market with support for different Windows versions (Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and even older versions), in order to avoid compatibility issues with InstaShare, installing a virtual audio driver can solve any audio issues that you may experience while using InstaShare.

Yes, InstaShare 2 supports Miracast.

Why does Wi-Fi turn off automatically after I switch input source?
We suggest using the Wi-Fi dongle through a USB port on the rear of the device, marked as dedicated to that role. All other USB 3.0 ports do not store Wi-Fi settings and simply adjust based on input source, leading to a reset of Wi-Fi status. The dedicated port was designed to keep Wi-Fi settings stable.
