The Promethean Screen Share Chrome Extension is automatically installed whenever a student or teacher logs into a Chromebook.
If you are a staff member not using a Chromebook, you should be using the Promethean Screen Share Desktop Application. This is typically pre-loaded on your laptop, but if it isn't, you can use Chocolatey (Windows) or Self-Service (MacOS) to install it yourself.
This article is for students and teachers on a Chromebook, using the Chrome Extension.
If the user isn't seeing the Promethean Extension (where the extension icons are), it likely isn't 'pinned'.
1. Click on the puzzle piece icon in the upper-right corner.
2. It will bring up a list of extensions that are installed. Look for 'Promethean Screen Share'
3. Click on the pin icon to the right of Promethean Screen Share.
5. You can now click on the Promethean Screen Share Extension Icon to use it.
6. On the Promethean TV, open the 'Screen Share' app.
7. On the Chromebook, enter the Panel ID that is displayed on the Promethean TV.
8. Enter your name, then click 'Enter Waiting Room'
9. On the Promethean TV, you can then admit the student to share their screen by selecting their name, then 'share'.
Note: If you have a laptop, it would be better to use the Promethean Screen Share app (found in Self Service) because the app functions better on the laptop. Also, you can have touchback capabilities using the app.
