Reactiv SUITE on Mac using Parallels or Boot Camp

An interactive learning platform that makes teachers memorable and enables students to make their thinking visible.

You need to be visually dynamic and present your story in a way that captures attention and sustains it for long periods.

Reactiv SUITE on Mac using Parallels or Boot Camp

To install Reactiv SUITE on your MacBook or iMac you’ll first need to install Windows 10 through programs like Parallels or Boot Camp. Using one of these, you can easily emulate the windows experience without having to purchase additional hardware.

Each of these programs will offer a different setup, for example, Parallels essentially runs Windows in another ‘window’ on your screen making it very easy to jump back and forth between your Mac Os and Windows OS. The drawback being that it can sometimes make things more confusing when your inundated with different menus and windows all on the same screen.

On the other hand you can look at a solution like Boot Camp which allows you to also install Windows on your Mac but requires that you select it during the boot process – meaning you’ll be solely in that operating system until you reset your computer.

Getting Started After you’ve selected which program is right for you (if you did not have one already), we can then focus in on installing the software. If you are using Parallels, you’ll have the option to run Windows 10 in a separate window altogether or another option called Coherent Mode which blends the windows applications and functions into your Mac OS. Depending on your comfort level with Windows, you may want to try that out.

You’ll also need to go into the Parallels settings at the top of the screen and enable your Wifi in the hardware tab in order to allow it to access the network your Mac is using. This will be required in order to access the casting features of Reactiv SUITE (Airplay, Chromecast, and Miracast).

Once you have the windows environment setup, simply visit https://vizetto.com/download/ and click the Download Free Trial button on either Reactiv SUITE PRO (for home office / personal use) or Reactiv SUITE IWB (for public boardroom or workspaces).

Now that we have all embraced the ‘new normal’, and are planning to permanently transition to hybrid work, a lot of people have asked me about my thoughts. What is the ideal setup for effective remote meetings when working from home? What do you need to consider when setting up hybrid and huddle spaces at work? What are the most important things to consider when trying to engage during a video conferencing and screen sharing session? What are the best practices?

Most articles about remote meetings talk about lighting and cameras, and I wont harp on that as these subjects as they have been beaten to death already. I want to talk about the things that no one else is thinking about and some of my learning from years of watching people present using existing video conferencing tools.

The importance of presence during an online meeting

Yes, you must portray a good image during any online presentation. Human brains are wired to respond to faces and people – not PowerPoint decks. If you want to build any trust and make your customers gain confidence, this is essential. A good light and a decent camera is a low bar now.

But not a lot of people are talking about how video conferencing apps minimize your presence and prioritize your screen sharing data. Most video conference apps minimize your audience to the size of a tiny postage stamp in the corner of your screen and reduce your image on your audiences’ screens as well. That means that neither of you can maintain eye contact anymore! This dramatically reduces the effectiveness of any virtual meeting regardless of the remote meeting tool that you are using.

You, and your audience, are in each other’s blind spot! This is not good if you are trying to build trust, create memories and ultimately close a deal!

Leverage a secondary monitor in your screen sharing session

There is a simple, and cost effective, solution. Not a lot of people realize that they can leverage a secondary monitor and create a much better remote experience. Did you know that all remote conferencing apps allow you to use a secondary monitor? In this situation you put your content onto the primary laptop screen and use the secondary monitor as the audience monitor.
