Please adjust the setting of laptop audio to "HDMI output". Windows OS will record your previous audio output as default. Thus, you only need to re-appoint it to "HDMI output".

Yes, a periodical restart of InstaShow is required. After 24 hours of usage, please power the InstaShow off for 30 minutes then restart. This will ensure stability and the best transmission quality between the Host and Button.

Yes, InstaShow is compliant with HDCP. When HDCP content is shared with InstaShow, the HDCP content will be shown on the HDMI-compliant digital displays.

It is suggested to use a HDMI cable with maximum length of 3 meters on InstaShow.

Wi-Fi Traffic Test in Web Management is designed to help you check your internet speed. We recommend at least 15Mbps for 1080p 60Hz content.

No. InstaShow does not use any software or share PC's CPU resource. Therefore, InstaShow performs well regardless of the performance of your PC.

The Split Screen function works with InstaShow Button, AirPlay, and Miracast.

No, touch back only works on one PC at a time on a full screen.

Yes, touch back supports multi-touch on Windows and Mac OS.

Yes, every presenter can plug-and-play their Button to show their presentation content on the room’s display. Remote attendees will not be able to see the presentation content at first. In order to share the presentation shown on the room’s display with remote attendees, the meeting host (i.e. the person who is logged in to Teams or any other video conferencing app) will need to activate “InstaShow Display”, “InstaShow Camera” and/or “InstaShow Audio” in Teams (or the respective video conferencing app) on their PC.

To do this, you need to install the VS Assist app. Here is a video describing how to do this. 

No. Only the meeting host needs to run the VS Assist app on their PC, and then activate “InstaShow Display”, “InstaShow Camera” and “InstaShow Audio” in the video conferencing app. Other presenters (non-hosts) can present simply using InstaShow’s normal plug-and-play capabilities.  

There are 2 types of microphone settings:

1. InstaShow Button Microphone: This setting is for when you are in a small room and you want to
    use the host PC’s InstaShow Button Microphone to replace the computer’s built-in microphone.

2. InstaShow Audio: This setting is for when you are in a larger room and you want to use to turn on
    the microphones on all the InstaShow Buttons in the room. You will need to install the InstaShow
    VS Assist app for this feature. 

Depending on the “User Account Control Settings” in your PC’s Windows operating system, a window might pop up and ask you to confirm installation of the app. Click “Yes” to proceed.
If you are asked for permission from the Administrator, check with your IT staff or download InstaShow VS Assist version 1.0.1 or above. Please make sure you have uninstalled the current version before you install the new version.     

Yes, the split screen function supports up to 4 inputs from multiple devices.

The default RX output resolution depends on the connected display, and can be up to 4K 60Hz.

The last one to cast takes charge of the major screen. Only the major screen can cast video and audio. The other three can only cast images.

5V/0.9A

Images should be JPEG, PNG, or GIF. For best results, we recommend an image resolution of 1920 x 1080, but the maximum acceptable resolution for custom background images is 3840 x 2160.

InstaShow output resolution depends on host output resolution settings, which determine actual resolution and frame rate per screen, whether single or split.
For example, if output resolution is 4K 30Hz on a single native screen, when used in split screen this is downscaled to 1080p 30Hz in 2 way-split as well as 4 way-split.

When you create an “InstaShow Display” window in your computer for your own Button’s presentation, you will keep seeing your own Button’s presentation on your computer screen. 

The BenQ InstaShow VS20 is designed to support a single screen with one HDMI output port. However, if you need to set up a dual display conference room with two screens placed side by side, including one screen dedicated to Teams or any other video conferencing app, please follow these guidelines:

1st Screen:

• Log into Teams or the desired conferencing app on this screen, which will act as your Host PC.
• Connect the InstaShow VS20 button directly to this screen. The InstaShow VS20 buttons support both Mirroring Screen and Extend Screen functionalities. To avoid screen echo, use the Extend Screen option.
• Install the InstaShow VS Assist app on this screen as well. Use Extend Screen to avoid screen echo. Your InstaShow VS Assist APP will also be installed here.  

2nd Screen:

• Connect the 2nd screen and the VS20 Host Receiver using an HDMI cable.
• The 2nd screen is typically used for in-room attendees and their button presentations.
• Ensure that only the native USB cable provided with the peripheral is used when connecting your USB-based video conferencing devices to the VS20 Host Receiver.

1st Screen & 2nd Screen:

• Share your InstaShow Display (2nd Screen) directly in Teams from the 1st screen.

No, it does not. You can simply plug n' play the VS20 button without Wi-Fi for your wireless presentations. However, if you are using Video Conferencing Peripherals for wireless video conferencing with the VS20, you will need to set up the VS20 receiver and your PC in the same network. Additionally, you will need to run the InstaShow VS Assist App on your computer to access these Video Conferencing Peripherals.

The quality of the network will affect the compatibility between the external All-in-one Video Conference Device and the built-in microphone of the VS20. Therefore, we’d recommend disabling one of them according to the below scenarios.

Please try the following:

1. Turn off the power of the host and button, and then turn them on.

2. Resync. the Button to the Receiver again by pressing the hardware buttons on both of them.

The problem is related to the fact that in the battery plan, most of the laptop components deactivate when not used for a certain time. Please follow below steps to fix this problem.

1. Adjust the power plan so that the USB does not deactivate while running on battery

2. Unplug and plug the Button

This is normal due to the processing required by mirroring and the bandwidth it occupies having an impact on Wi-Fi connection speeds. To accurately gauge your wireless network speed, please do not speed test while mirroring.

There is a way to recover from this. Please unplug the USB cable and reconnect it. Then wait about two minutes, and your InstaShow Button will automatically restart to upgrade the firmware.

Please disable network standby mode, then the idle screen or guide screen will stay displayed. You can disable network standby model from web management > Advance Setting.

The changes are related to Macbook design. The resolution can be defined by changing the display setting of the Macbook:
(1) When "Default Retina Display" is selected, it will follow Macbook native resolution.
(2) When "BenQ InstaShow" is selected, it follows the native resolution of the connected display.

When your microphone and speaker are placed too close to each other, it is likely that your remote attendees will hear an echo. To fix echoes in the video conference, here are 3 things you can do:

1. You can use an all-in-one video bar or a microphone and speaker 2-in-1 soundbar device. These
    devices have Echo Cancellation features that will solve this issue. 

2. If you use the BenQ InstaShow Wireless Conferencing System in a large room and need a
    standalone speaker, make sure the speaker uses the USB 2.0 interface. 

3. Your network bandwidth speed should be at least 20Mbps.

We recommend a minimum 20 Mbps network bandwidth, 4 GB RAM and 300 MB of available disk space.

Please select "Display" and adjust "Scaling" on the graphics card to adjust the resolution.
