Before getting started…

Before you get started with the steps below, you should first ensure that your smart projector is connected to a network with Internet access.

For convenience sake, it’s also suggested that you connect a mouse to one of the USB ports on your projector.

Step 1: Download and Install the TeamViewer Meeting App

To download the TeamViewer Meeting App:

1. Open the All Apps menu on the projector.

2. Open the BenQ Suggests app.

Once the installation process is complete you will see a Meeting icon in the All Apps menu.

Step 2: Connect a webcam and any peripheral devices needed

For video conferences where the participants in the meeting room will mainly be listening, you will only need to connect your webcam to the other USB port on your projector. For video conferences where the participants will be talking extensively, it’s suggested that you also connect external speakers to boost the meeting’s overall audio. To do so we further suggest that you use a USB hub for the webcam and speaker connections, due to the increased power requirements for both connections. The use of a hub will also allow you to connect other accessories, like a keyboard, based on any additional needs.

Once you’re ready, launch the TeamViewer Meeting app and follow the steps below:

1. In the TeamViewer Meeting homepage, select the Start Meeting button.

NOTE: If you are launching the TeamViewer Meeting app for the first time, it will take a moment before the Start Meeting button is activated, as the app generates a My meeting ID.

4. Adjust the volume on the speaker to a suitable level.

Step 4: Make any adjustments needed to your projector and/or webcam

Once the video conference has started you may need to make adjustments to your projector and/or webcam’s orientation based on your physical setup. We suggest that you:

NOTE: When adjusting keystone, a higher value will shrink the bottom portion of the image while a lower value will shrink the top portion of the image.

Ending a Video Conference

When you’re ready to end your video conference, select the back button on your projector (or the right-click button on the mouse) and select LEAVE in the confirmation dialog. All participants will be logged out of the meeting.
