1 Introduction
Intel Unite® application is an easy-to-use solution to have smarter conference rooms, classrooms, faculty rooms or any room dedicated to peer collaboration. Meetings or sessions start quickly with wireless technology that connects immediately to new or existing displays, projectors, or interactive whiteboards – no cables needed. Intel Unite application users can share and edit content in real time, whether they are in the room or in a remote location.
The solution is designed to allow fast wireless screen sharing and collaboration in three steps:
1. Launch the Intel Unite app or join through a meeting invite.
2. Enter a PIN to connect to a specific session.
3. Click on Present, Present Screen or Present Application to share content or click on View to
see what others are presenting.

1.2 Intel Unite Solution Terminology & Definitions

Hub – This term refers to a mini form factor PC with Intel® vPro™ technology that is connected to an interactive flat panel display or projector in a conference room, classrooms or any room used for peer collaboration running the Intel Unite application. This is where the app configuration takes place, most features are configured and managed by the IT administrator.
Plugin – This term refers to a software component that is installed on the Hub which extends the functionality of the Intel Unite solution, i.e. Skype for Business, Protected Guest Access, Whiteboard, or other vendor’s additional functionality.
