Intel® Unite™ v2
What is new?
The following new features were added in the Client SW for Intel® Unite™ version 2
Intel® Unite™ New Features | |
Application sharing | A user will be able to select which application window to display on the Intel Unite hub. A presenter can keep the rest of their screen private, even if an application covers the content window being shared. |
Extended display | Intel Unite will take advantage of multiple monitors, allowing you to share your secondary display. If you do not have a second display, Intel Unite will enable you to create a virtual extended display. This allows you to extend or duplicate your primary monitor. |
Auto disconnect | This feature will help the user by making intelligent decisions on when to auto-disconnect. In this version, a user will be automatically disconnected on laptop close and power button press |

Repair Installation for Standalone or upgrade for Standalone Client
| If you have the Intel Unite client app installed in Standalone mode, then attempt to repair using the installer or Control Panel->Programs And Features, the repair will be successful, but the app will be set to Enterprise mode.
| To work around you can modify serverconfig.xml and change “<RunMode>Enterprise</RunMode>” to “<RunMode>StandAlone>/RunMode>”. You can also uninstall/reinstall to repair your installation.
