How to Use Moderator Mode to Control Who Can Share to the CommBox Screen

Applies to: Classic V3, Classic V3X, Atom, Commercial Display V4

On your CommBox screen, open the CommBox Connect Powered by Eshare app.

Tap the Moderator Control Center—this is always available and does not need to be turned on.

Configure how users are allowed to share and interact with the screen.

You can adjust the following settings:

Screen or File Sharing
- All allowed – Any device can share without approval
- Needs authorisation – You must approve each request
- Disable – Prevents all devices from sharing
View, Control & Wireless Annotation
- All allowed – Full control and annotation access
- View only – Can see the screen but can’t control or annotate
- Needs authorisation – Each control/annotation action requires your approval
- Disable – Blocks all interaction
Floating Moderator Button
- Auto – Shows only when devices are connected
- Always show – Visible at all times
- Disable – Hides the button completely
- Only on home screen – Visible only when on the main Eshare screen

💡 Tip: These settings help maintain classroom or meeting flow without unexpected interruptions or distractions.

During a session, use the Moderator Control Center to:

Issue: Students are sharing without approval.
Fix: Set Screen or File Sharing to “Needs authorisation” in the Moderator Control Panel.
Issue: Users can interact with the screen when they shouldn’t.
Fix: Set Control & Annotation permissions to “Disable” or “Needs authorisation”.
Issue: The floating moderator button is not appearing.
Fix: In the panel, ensure it’s set to Auto or Always Show based on your preference.
