Use cases

Standalone (BYOD)

In this mode, Mago Essential is used in rooms without video conferencing equipment. When you enter the room, you will see a simple display with Mago Essential instructions on the screen. You can easily connect your personal device (phone, tablet, or laptop) to the screen via wireless presentation protocols like AirPlay, Miracast, or Google Cast. You can also visit Magolink.com from your browser to cast your screen without installing anything. If you prefer a cable, you can connect your device using the HDMI cable provided in the room. Mago will automatically start showing your screen. There are no video conferencing tools available in this setup. Follow the How To instructions to start.

Standalone with BYOM Kit

In this setup, you will see Mago Essential instructions on the screen, but video conferencing equipment (such as a camera, microphone, and speaker) will also be available in the room. The BYOM (Bring Your Own Meeting) Kit is present, with a small transmitter dongle placed on the table or in a designated area by IT. This dongle allows you to connect your device to the room’s audio/video system, enabling seamless video calls, and you can present content from your personal device at the same time.

Integrated with Room Systems (MTR, Zoom Rooms, ...)

In rooms with video conferencing equipment already installed (e.g., Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms), Mago Essential will be accessible through the Share button on the touch controller if it’s a single display setup. If the room has a dual display, you will see Mago Essential instructions directly on the second screen. In this configuration, Mago Essential works alongside the company’s existing room system and lets you easily share content during video conferences.
