To ensure that the extension works properly, perform the steps below:

Verify vCast version on the ViewBoard

On the ViewBoard: First, verify that the vCastReceiver installed on your ViewBoard has been updated to at least version 3.2.1 or later.

Connect your ViewBoard to the internet.
Open the vCastReceiver app.
The vCastReceiver app should update automatically.
Confirm that the update was successful:
Tap the info icon at the bottom.
On the next window, verify that the app is at version 3.2.1 or later.
If the version seems outdated, you may need to restart your ViewBoard. The update will not activate until the device has been rebooted.

Install the extension

On the Chromebook: Install the vCastSender Chrome Extension on your Chromebook.

For quick access, we recommend clicking the pin icon to keep the extension visible on your Chrome toolbar.

Launch vCastSender

Once the steps above are complete, launch and use vCastSender

In the Chrome toolbar, click the puzzle icon to open the list of installed extensions.
Click vCastSender to start casting and access all features.
If you’ve pinned vCastSender, it will stay on your toolbar so you can launch it faster.

You can also go to the ViewSonic YouTube Channel for videos on how to install and use vCast.

If you have any issues, please submit a helpdesk ticket through Eduphoria or schedule a one-on-one session with me.
