Make big things happen when small teams get together.

Make big things happen when small teams get together.

Break the bottleneck of the “laptop huddle” that get in the way of effective group work. TeamSpot does more than just allow wireless presentation. It brings interactive collaboration to meeting rooms, group works areas and other informal gathering spaces. Anyone with a connected device can fully participate and contribute to a better result.

Get Everyone Participating

TeamSpot makes small groups more productive. Laptops, tablets and smart phones join together wirelessly with the screens in the room, in a way that lets everyone co-create together. Anyone can contribute, and everyone’s ideas get shared.

Accelerate the Flow of Ideas

Your laptop or mobile device is your personal workspace, while the main screen is the group’s shared workspace. TeamSpot makes it easy to transition between personal and shared spaces as team members generate, explore and assemble their ideas.

Make Information More Mobile

TeamSpot makes moving digital content within the team simple. Files, websites, and folders can be sent to, and opened on, any computer joined to the TeamSpot. Copy text from one laptop and immediately paste it on another. TeamSpot lets everyone work on content directly together rather than waiting to take turns showing individual work.

TeamSpot is a great tool that takes hours off of our projects. It is as easy to use as it is to learn.
