Large screen and small screen

Encourage active participation

Participants can share their desktops, write over remote applications with smart ink and use integrated audio and instant messaging for discussions and questions.

secure software

Rely on secure software

Your confidential information is protected with bridgit software. It features a multilayer password protector and encrypted media path – yet it connects meeting rooms, local teams and remote participants easily. The software also integrates with SMART Meeting Pro software and Microsoft Office.

One-touch desktop sharing
Share your computer desktop or SMART Board interactive whiteboard or flat panel with a single touch. Participants instantly see anything you are showing on your interactive whiteboard, interactive flat panel or computer desktop. You can share vital information with participants, such as spreadsheets, presentations or websites. You can also easily share alternate desktops with little disruption and make notes on all shared content.
Simple connection

Conference with anyone, anytime, anywhere – as long as you have an Internet connection. Participants can join meetings through a simple, automatically generated e-mail invitation.

Auto-join capabilities

Join your meetings automatically with Microsoft Exchange integration. The software's auto-join capabilities ensure that your conferencing session begins at the scheduled time. No need to manually connect the room to a scheduled meeting.

Intuitive toolbar

Quickly and easily access video and audio controls, participant lists and tools to direct attention to important information.

Integration with the SMART Board interactive whiteboard

Write directly into an open file in SMART Meeting Pro software when you use Bridgit software with a SMART Board interactive whiteboard (optional).

Write over desktops
Highlight information by writing notes over a shared desktop. More than one participant can write at the same time.
Remote control

Take control of another participant’s desktop to demonstrate a solution or provide technical assistance.

Control shared information
Focus on the most important information by controlling what participants can see, using the software's enhanced region-sharing capabilities. Ideal when meetings include participants using their own computers, you can show others everything on your desktop or restrict what is shared.
Reduce meeting distractions

Ensure that participants can stay focused on the meeting. Unexpected participants can discreetly "knock" to join a meeting without a password. And the raise hand feature lets participants subtly notify the presenter that they have questions without disrupting the flow of the meeting.

Presentation tools

Direct attendees’ attention to important points with the software’s pointer tool. It enables a presenter to put focus on a specific screen area.

Support for multitouch

Write, draw and interact with files at the same time as another person on a multitouch SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboard or 8000 series interactive flat panel, and both remote and local attendees can see the inputs from both people on their screens.

Share multiple screens
Use multiple interactive whiteboards or flat panels in your collaboration sessions, and remote users can see your multiple shared screens simultaneously.
Built-in VoIP

Hear all participants in the conference without purchasing an additional audio conference bridge or incurring long-distance charges. Bridgit software works with your existing microphone headset or conference room microphone.

Intelligent resizing

View content in your screen’s resolution, rather than the resolution of the presenter’s display. You can resize your viewer screens and video windows to suit your resolution or the size in which you’d like to view the content.

Webcam support

View video from as many as four participant sites simultaneously.

Firewall compatibility
Avoid issues with firewalls. The software is designed to work with corporate firewalls, making it simple to set up a conference because no special configurations are required.
Secure and reliable environment

Protect information with multilayer password options and SSL encryption – the same security used by online banking systems.

Support for LAN and WAN installations

Use Bridgit software with private local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) installations. The software also supports public deployment scenarios that leverage a fully qualified domain name via the Internet.

Integrated with Microsoft Exchange and Outlook
Use the software's SMART Scheduler option to create meetings using Microsoft Outlook. Meetings are automatically deployed on specified Bridgit server software.
Language support

The software supports 13 languages, which you can easily switch between using the interface.

SMART software maintenance
