Joining via a browser is the easiest for both user and IT team as there is no installation required. Simply go to www.displaynote.com/join on your laptop or Chromebook.
It gives a user the ability to present a single tab or window, rather than the whole screen. So, teachers can present content for students while ensuring no other information is shown on the display.
