Connect your laptop to a smartboard
A reliable smartboard connection needs both a video signal and a touch data link.
Connect the display cable
Plug an HDMI cable from your laptop into an available HDMI input on the smartboard. If both devices support video over USB-C, a single USB-C cable handles video and touch together.
Attach the touch USB cable
Run a USB-A to USB-B cable from your laptop to the smartboard's corresponding Touch USB port. Without this cable, the board only acts as a standard monitor.
Switch to the right input source
Use the smartboard's on-screen menu or remote to select the exact HDMI or USB-C port you plugged into.
Set your laptop display mode
Press Windows + P (or open Display Settings on macOS) and choose Duplicate to mirror your screen or Extend for a second workspace.
