[Request a free trial](https://www.mersive.com/trial) [Find a partner](https://www.mersive.com/partners/where) The rooms you actually have ## Keep meetings moving When there is no dedicated AV team, every room issue competes with the rest of IT’s work. Start with the problems people encounter in everyday meetings. ✕**Getting content on screen** A missing cable or an unfamiliar room setup can hold up the whole meeting. ✓ With Polaris set up, people enter the key shown on the display in their browser and choose what to share. Room controls are in the same tab. ✕**Helping guests share** A guest may arrive with a managed laptop that cannot install another app. ✓ Web-join lets guests share from a supported desktop or laptop browser, including on Chromebooks, without installing Mersive software or needing administrator rights. ✕**Understanding the ongoing cost** Hardware, software, support and warranty terms can make a room quote difficult to compare. ✓ A Polaris subscription includes cloud management, support and updates. Full warranty while on active subscription. The selected term is billed upfront, followed by annual renewal at the published renewal rate. ✕**Knowing which rooms need attention** If the first report of an offline room comes from someone starting a call, IT is already reacting under pressure. ✓ Use Polaris Cloud to check room health, firmware and usage from a browser. Configure email alerts for unreachable devices so your team knows where to look. Choose for each room ## Match the hardware to the meeting Essentials runs the same Polaris software as Pro: the same workspace, the same cloud, the same security posture. The differences are the chassis, not the platform. Choose Essentials for everyday screen sharing and Pro for rooms that need wireless access to a room camera and microphone. Moving an Essentials room to Pro requires Pro hardware.
