No, you don't need to install any software or app on your Windows or Mac to use the ClickShare Button. Here’s how it works:
When you connect a ClickShare Button to your computer, a ClickShare drive will appear with removable storage. This drive contains an executable program for both Windows and Mac. Double-clicking this executable will start the ClickShare application. When the meeting has ended, you can simply remove the ClickShare Button.
First-Time Setup on Windows: When you plug in the ClickShare Button for the first time on a Windows laptop, Windows will automatically download the ClickShare driver from the Windows update store (make sure your laptop is connected to the internet). After the driver is installed, the ClickShare App will auto-start whenever you plug in the Button. For details, see KB 5676.
For an even better user experience, we recommend installing the ClickShare Desktop App on your Windows or Mac. You can find detailed instructions in KB 3714.
