CommBox Connect is an app that allows you to wirelessly connect personal devices—like laptops, tablets and smartphones—to a CommBox screen. You can use it to:

  • Share up to 9 devices at once

  • Use native protocols like Airplay, Chromecast, or Miracast

  • Cast your screen, individual apps, or windows

  • Use touchback on most devices and air-mouse control

  • Share files and media

  • Mirror the CommBox screen back to other devices

  • Group multiple CommBox screens together for broadcasting

This makes lessons, meetings, and presentations more interactive and seamless.
