ASTROS Pod supports both Windows and macOS laptops. It mirrors your laptop's screen to the display that is connected to the paired ASTROS Station.

Before getting started

To ensure a smooth start to the wireless meeting, you should check the following items:

  • With ASTROS Pod, you can share without entering a login code

  • ASTROS Pod can be managed or controlled by the feature

Steps

Connect the Pod to the USB-C port on your laptop

Wait for the Pod to connect to the receiver. You can see the progress of the connection by observing the LED lights on the Pod. Learn more about LED color definition here.

Proceed to the next step when the Pod LED color becomes light blue.

Press the Share Button to share your screen

With ASTROS Pod, you have the flexibility to share your screen with others or take over the entire screen, depending on the different actions of the Share Button.

In addition, the Pod also supports the control back from a mouse connected to the Station.

Troubleshooting

The Pod LED color is red or amber

The Pod LED color is pink

  • Your laptop's USB-C port does not support A/V output. >> Please try using a different laptop or consider one of the alternative screen sharing methods below:

    • ASTROS App

Red Please pair the Pod with the Station and try sharing again

Amber Please disconnect the Pod, reconnect it to your laptop, and try sharing again

The A/V output from the USB-C may have been interrupted. This can be caused by the laptop entering sleep mode, or the '' setting being set to 'PC screen only'. Once the A/V output resumes, the Pod LED should turn blue, and screen sharing can proceed normally.
