Screen sharing is the practice most requested by teachers on interactive digital displays. And yet, whatever method is used, screen sharing, in addition to preventing you from exploiting the display’s full performance, comes with its share of drawbacks.<\/strong><\/p>\n In this article, we discuss its disadvantages and negative impacts on lesson quality, and present a simple and practical alternative with Speechi Connect.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/speechi.com\/contact\/” button_text=”Interested in Connect?

This is notably due to building infrastructure, the large number of connected devices, and various interferences disrupting the network. Under such conditions, teachers’ systematic use of screen sharing is not a practice without consequences.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font=”ABeeZee||||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”35px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Let’s start with screen-sharing software, like Miracast or Airplay. Although appreciated because they require no cables, in the context of a school with unstable WiFi, using such software is not necessarily a good idea if you want to save yourself from digital fatigue for 3 main reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/speechi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/partage-ecran-logiciel-speechi-connect.png” alt=”Drawbacks of screen sharing via Miracast \/ Airplay” title_text=”Drawbacks of screen sharing via Miracast \/ Airplay” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font=”ABeeZee||||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”35px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n When using a screen-sharing application, there is a phenomenon of inherent latency<\/strong>*, meaning a display delay<\/strong> between what happens on your mobile device and what you will see on the interactive screen. This latency actually worsens depending on your network’s quality.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2192 We therefore lose the immediacy of display, fluidity of use, and execution speed of the Speechi interactive display.<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Alef||||||||” background_color=”#f5f5f5″ custom_padding=”10px|10px|10px|10px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n * This latency corresponds to the time required to send data from your device to the interactive display.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font=”ABeeZee||||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”35px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The practice of screen sharing can consume a lot of bandwidth. If every class in a school is equipped with an interactive display and teachers predominantly use screen sharing, then the WiFi network’s bandwidth may struggle to handle this volume of data<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2192 When this bandwidth congestion occurs, you will notice lags, pixelation of moving images, or even micro audio cuts when playing media.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Alef||||||||” background_color=”#f5f5f5″ custom_padding=”10px|10px|10px|10px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n ** A WiFi network’s bandwidth refers to its capacity to transmit a certain volume of data.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font=”ABeeZee||||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”35px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n While the impact of screen sharing is moderate on your interactive display’s power consumption, it is, however, very high on that of your PC! If you use screen sharing for extended periods, you will notice that your PC heats up and turns on its fans to cool its components<\/strong> because its processor and graphics chip are heavily strained, in addition to its network card.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2192 Your PC’s components and battery wear out unnecessarily<\/strong>, when the interactive display could handle displaying documents on its own thanks to Speechi Connect for a much more reasonable final power consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font=”ABeeZee||||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”35px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”ABeeZee||||||||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n\n
