Creating a meeting room resource

In order to use the Phillips tablet, you need to have bookable resources available in your venue. To create these resources, please refer to your administrator or the TableAir Cloud administrators’ manual.

Phillips tablet guest screen

When adding participants to the meeting that are not members of your team by email, they receive a special 4-digit PIN which they can use to check in at the guest screen.

The first thing you need to do is create a guest app account. It is very easy to do – in your team’s venue click the ‘draw’ button located at the bottom-right of the screen.
