The feature is designed to maximize the user’s active workspace on the Canvas while running third party video conferencing software like Skype For Business, Zoom, Blue Jeans, and WebEx.
Turning VC Mode ‘on’ will relocate your VC application windows into a compact panel on the right side of the Canvas. Users can then drag and drop the VC application windows onto the Canvas. The VC application windows will remain persistent in the VC panel, so if one of the VC application windows is closed while on the Canvas, users will still be able to access the VC windows in the VC panel. This feature is included for all ThinkHub users with VC integrations.

ThinkHub Dock allows ThinkHub users to broadcast or ‘dock’ content on displays mounted around the room. You can dock individual pieces of content (images, videos, shared devices, PDFs, sketches, notes, etc...) or the entire Canvas. All content that is docked will stream in real time - so you can also make annotations, resize, or play live video or device streams. ThinkHub Dock currently supports up to two display docks at a time. This is an excellent way to reference content throughout a presentation or lesson, and provides audiences another way to digest information.
The ThinkHub Menu has been streamlined for quicker access points. ‘Media,’ ‘Devices,’ and ‘AirConnect’ have all been consolidated under ‘Content.’

Now, ThinkHub can send content from the ThinkHub Canvas using a specified email address provided at configuration. This is useful for deployments where ThinkHub lives in someone’s personal office, a team space, or across different locations where an email address can be used to denote which location the content is being shared from.
AirConnect Files introduces the ability to exchange files between your individual device and the ThinkHub Canvas. Users can now share to and download from the Canvas with their AirConnect app. This functionality includes the exchange of Canvas notes, website URLs, and media files:
Users can create a note from the convenience of their device and send to the ThinkHub Canvas. Once shared to the Canvas, in-room participants can edit your notes - opting to change background colors to categorize ideas, changing the actual copy, or annotating on top of the note. This feature was designed for agile development and big room planning, and serves both in-room and remote participants who want to get their ideas to the Canvas with ease.
Within AirConnect, users can enter a URL to send to the ThinkHub Canvas. ThinkHub will then launch a Web Browser window with that URL. This is handy for lengthy URLs, or for any remote participants who want their team to view particular web content.
Users can send any media file (image, video, PDF) to the ThinkHub Canvas. Simply select a single file from the AirConnect window, drag and drop files into your AirConnect window, or drag and drop into the AirConnect Canvas view to share to the ThinkHub Canvas.
Similarly, users can download any media file from the Canvas to their device - making the exchange of files between team members and remote participants more seamless than ever. From the Airconnect app, right click on any media file (image, video, PDF) to download to your device. This includes snapshots, so you can download image copies of notes, sketches, and web browsers, too. AirConnect Files retains the original media file size and resolution; download times vary based on Internet connection.
AirConnect Files is currently available for all Mac and Windows devices.
AirConnect Access provides remote participants the same ThinkHub controls they would experience if they were in-room. ThinkHub 4.2 introduces significant layers of capabilities into AirConnect:
Introduced in our ThinkHub 4.1 release, AirConnect View allows users to view the digital Canvas on their Mac, Windows, or Android device via the AirConnect app. This feature is particularly useful for remote participants who can connect to and participate in meetings from any network in the world.
AirConnect Control provides remote participants the ability to control the ThinkHub Canvas just as they would if they were in the room. They can move content windows, pinch-zoom objects, pan to different areas of the Canvas, drag/drop media and devices to the Canvas, create notes and sketches...literally, total control from the convenience of your AirConnect-powered device. Equally beneficial to in-room teams who can now manipulate Canvas content from their seat.
Our solution to a digital pointer or highlighter, use AirConnect Point to direct your team’s attention to a particular area of the Canvas or a particular piece of content you’d like to review. This feature is especially useful to remote participants who aren’t able to physically point to something; they can now virtually point to ensure everyone is discussing the same content.
Also within AirConnect Access controls, users can download the entire Canvas as a PDF.
While AirConnect Access enables remote participants to fully engage in ThinkHub’s collaboration capabilities, we also understand there will be situations where the meeting organizer wants to limit who can view, control, and point in their ThinkHub session. Because of this, we created an AirConnect Access control panel, which allows the meeting organizer to control who has what level of access to the ThinkHub Canvas. In this control panel, in-room participants can also see who is connected to the session, and of those connected users, who is view-only and control/point-only. With the AirConnect credentials, remoteparticipants will always be able to view. But the in-room organizer can specify which remote participantscan control and point within a ThinkHub session.
Please note that all AirConnect Access features must be enabled on each ThinkHub device. Please contact your T1V representative to configure this feature set.
Our 4.2 release brings a higher-performance version of Stylus Mode (just released in 4.1).

Users may join an existing Zoom call or create a new one entirely. Participants will be able to view the ThinkHub Canvas, while in-room ThinkHub users will be able to view remote participants’ screen and/or camera feed. Please contact your T1V representative; a one-time setup fee applies.
Connected devices are now available in the ThinkHub Menu, with the option to drag and drop from the ThinkHub Menu (in addition to its static location in the devices section of the tray). This means more access points to connected devices, so for our users with large, multipanel walls - you’re no longer tied to the device tray.
Canvas Key is now accessible in the ThinkHub Menu, giving users the ability to jump to certain areas of the Canvas from anywhere (not just the upper left corner of the screen).
Our new and improved keyboard layout makes it easier to shift and access all keys in one view (we’ve removed the ‘pop-out’ keyboard). We’ve also increased the keyboard buffer size, so that users can more easily drag and relocate the keyboard position on the Canvas.
Enjoy a static location for easy access to your Canvas drawing tools, now located on the left side of the interface.
In addition to major new features, T1V continues to improve existing features and satisfy incoming customer feedback. Key highlights from ThinkHub 4.2 bug fixes include:
Allows users to view the digital Canvas on their Mac, Windows, or Android device via the AirConnect app. This feature is particularly useful for remote participants who can connect to and participate in meetings from any network in the world. Note that the AirConnect View feature must be enabled on each ThinkHub device. Please contact your T1V representative to configure this.
In Stylus Mode, ThinkHub can immediately distinguish between a finger touch and a stylus touch. With their finger, ThinkHub users can move objects around the Canvas. With a stylus, ThinkHub users can write and annotate on the Canvas. Because ThinkHub recognizes the difference between these two touch events, users can more quickly operate between these two actions. What’s more, Stylus Mode also enables the user to erase annotations by creating a fist with their hand, and moving the backside of their fist in circular motion to erase writing on the interactive Canvas. Users may also use any touch screen eraser to erase annotations on the Canvas. This feature can be toggled on/off in the ThinkHub Menu. Please contact your T1V representative to configure this feature, applies to T1V qualified touchscreens only.
Skype for Business and WebEx are now a natively integrated feature in ThinkHub, accessible through the ThinkHub main navigation. Users may join an existing SFB/WebEx call or create a new one entirely. Participants will be able to view the ThinkHub Canvas, while in-room ThinkHub users will be able to view remote participants’ screen and/or camera feed. Please contact your T1V representative, a one-time setup fee applies.
TouchControl™, which allows you to control your connected Mac and Windows laptop from the ThinkHub Canvas, was previously only available via the T1V AirConnect app. Now, TouchControl is available as a hardline input connected directly to your ThinkHub device.
ThinkHub now supports cropping of all images, Sketches, and Notes. So when working with these objects on the Canvas, the user can now zoom and crop content to focus on particular areas of interest.
ThinkHub now gives you the option to toggle your grid lines on or off. Access this feature in the Canvas submenu of the ThinkHub menu.
ThinkHub has a new assortment of Canvas themes to choose from. Access these options in the Canvas submenu of the ThinkHub menu.

The latest release now enables calendar integration for all of your ThinkHub rooms, so you can see who has the room booked before you begin your ThinkHub sessions. Calendar integration is completed via your organization’s Outlook or Google Calendar, and details are completely configurable (so you can show as little or as much detail on the meetings as you prefer).
To make accessing our menu easier than ever, you can now unlock the menu from the bottom tray of the Canvas. The menu now features detachable submenus, so functions like Canvas drawing can now live as a persistent menu wherever you choose to drag and place the submenu. Other upgrades include a streamlined content window menu, the ability to control volume, to draw within Notes, to access your full media tray from the menu, and a built-in help button for a quick overview of features.
Users can now pin or unpin any content objects to the digital Canvas. When objects are in the pinned state, they cannot be moved from their fixed position on the Canvas. This is useful in situations whereby a user may want to group a series of objects together on a specific part of the Canvas and keep them from being individually moved.
TouchControl provides the ability to control users’ devices directly from the ThinkHub Canvas. This makes wirelessly connecting devices all the more powerful, so that once connected, users are no longer tethered to their devices. TouchControl is available for Mac and Windows as a built-in feature of T1V’s AirConnect app (free for all ThinkHub users).
The ThinkHub touchscreen goes to sleep after a prolonged period of inactivity. When a user touches the screen or connects a device via the AirConnect app, the display wakes up.
Allows users to view the digital Canvas on their Mac or Windows device via the AirConnect app. This feature is particularly useful for remote participants who can connect to and partake in meetings from any network in the world. Note that the AirConnect View feature must be enabled on each ThinkHub device. Please contact your T1V representative to configure this.
Users who are in T1V App 5.5 and are connected to a ThinkHub 5.5 Room can now copy/paste their meeting URL into the ‘Send URL’ text box, which will then launch the video conference on the ThinkHub Room Canvas.
This method of starting the meeting can be done by a remote user, or anyone in the ThinkHub Room to launch the video conference from your app. This is useful for launching ad-hoc Zoom or MS Teams meetings where you want to patch a remote collaborator into your meeting, or if an external partner has scheduled a Zoom or Teams call that you want to join from your ThinkHub Room.
These enhancements include updated iconography that is more unified across ThinkHub Cloud and ThinkHub Room, improved casting performance for device sharing, and improved support for Canvases with large amounts of content.

Share My Screen
Now, when selecting ‘Share My Screen,’ T1V has streamlined the workflow to minimize the number of steps to share your screen to a ThinkHub Room.
Share My Screen - Auto Pause
When sharing your device screen (entire desktop view) while you are viewing the Canvas, T1V app will automatically pause your device feed to prevent the repeating “window within a window” effect. When you click off of the T1V app and interact with other applications on your device, the share feed will automatically resume the real-time device screen feed. You always have the option to manually pause / unpause your device screen share with the share menu.

We’ve updated our T1V app share menu iconography - this is the menu bar that appears at the top of your device screen when sharing content to a ThinkHub Room. Select the hamburger (three horizontal lines) at the far right, then check the shortcuts you’d like to add to your share menu.
ThinkHub Cloud - Follow Me Enhancements
We’ve expanded your ability to follow collaborators, along with the ability to request collaborators to follow you. These options are available when you click on the ‘Share’ button at the top of your Canvas. New to this lineup is the ability to follow the Room and ask the Room to follow you.
ThinkHub Cloud users have the ability to send their Canvas to the ThinkHub Room (“Send to Room”) - they now also have the ability to close the Canvas in the Room from their Cloud interface. This will appear as an option when you select the ThinkHub Room icon in the collaborators section at the top of your ThinkHub Cloud Canvas.
The T1V team has embedded quick feedback surveys throughout the ThinkHub Cloud experience - these will appear when you close a Canvas.
ThinkHub Cloud now has a sorting feature to help users find and navigate their Cloud Canvases. Users can sort by alphabetical order or most recently viewed.
We’ve improved the experience between ThinkHub Cloud and ThinkHub Room, specifically for large, multipanel walls. Now, the experience is better synced between ThinkHub Cloud to Room, where participants are all seeing the same content / area of the Canvas at the same time.
New to ThinkHub Cloud - enjoy freestanding text fields that can be placed anywhere on the Canvas. This is an alternative to the built-in Note app, and is designed as a quick tool to create a header for ThinkHub Groups or sections of the Canvas. You can resize and duplicate any text on the Canvas, and enjoy a full formatting toolset to edit font color and background color.
T1V app now gives enterprise administrators a single place to manage its users. Once an email domain is configured with T1V, your organization can register with T1V using SSO (single sign on) via your Identity Provider (MS O365, Google Workspace, Okta, etc…).
New to T1V app, you can now personalize your app integrations. You can hide our standard app integrations (Google Drive, MS O365, or YouTube) or you can add your own integrations. Simply jump into your App settings and paste the URL of the web-based tool you would like to access. This could be a specific folder in your Google Drive for quick access to logos, frequently used images, videos, copy, and more; content applications like Box, Dropbox, or Canva; or data tools like Tableau, SmartSheets, and Microsoft Power BI.
With Groups, users can create groups and add individual content assets to those groups. Groups can contain notes, sketches, images, videos, browsers, PDFs, or any other content asset shared to the Canvas. Groups are an effective way to manage and organize Canvas content, and help participants to visualize and categorize content in large team planning and brainstorming sessions.
Smart Guides provide visual cues to indicate size, spacing and alignment of objects on the Canvas. Use this tool to visualize content and organize in clean layouts.
Customize your ThinkHub Cloud Canvas background color and gridline color.
ThinkHub Cloud brings the full collaboration experience of ThinkHub to your Windows and Mac laptop. With ThinkHub Cloud, you can create Canvases, add content, and invite collaborators to meet and work together in real time. ThinkHub Cloud Canvases are saved automatically and offer a persistent digital workspace for hybrid teams to collaborate synchronously or asynchronously. Cloud Canvases can also be shared to ThinkHub Rooms and ThinkHub Huddles, supporting a hybrid team workflow.
ThinkHub Cloud is available in two membership options: Free (three Canvases) and Enterprise (Unlimited Canvases). To access your free ThinkHub Cloud membership, T1V app users simply need to register their account within the app, and will then unlock their free three ThinkHub Cloud Canvases.
All Canvas content and collaborators appear in real-time. See where fellow collaborators are in the Canvas, and co-browse file-based and web-based content together - including YouTube, Google Docs, Office 365, and more.
Add Canvas collaborators and specify their user permissions - choose from Editor, Viewer, or Meeting Only.
Send a ThinkHub Cloud Canvas to a ThinkHub Room for hybrid meetings. Enjoy total persistence from Cloud to Room, invite collaborators whether joining the session remotely or from the room. Simply enter the ThinkHub Room credentials, then select the ‘Connect’ button in your ThinkHub Cloud UI.
Annotate on the Canvas with your mouse or trackpad, with options to adjust pen weight and color palette of your annotations.
Users can change any Canvas theme to Light, Dark or Classic when selecting the Canvas name. Canvas names can also be renamed at any time.
Users can access their Google Drive, Microsoft One Drive and YouTube accounts natively from the ThinkHub Cloud Canvas. Once logged in to their respective accounts, users will be able to add their web content to the Cloud Canvas.
Users can share live content from their device screen - whether sharing the full screen view, specific applications, or device cameras. Each device will display as a preview thumbnail until clicking or dragging the thumbnail to share to the Canvas.
Meeting Sync enables the host to ‘lead’ a meeting by inviting participants to sync with their current view. This ensures all participants can view and operate within the same area of the Canvas at the same time.
Video conferencing enables users to work with their preferred applications. When participants join the instant meeting, the selected video conference application will automatically join the meeting. T1V App Instant Meetings supports Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet.
Instant Meetings allow users to quickly and easily collaborate with participants by launching a new or existing Canvas and adding your preferred video-conferencing. Multiple Canvases can be added to the Meeting by selecting the ‘Create New Canvas’ button.
The T1V app marks a complete UI / UX overhaul for the original AirConnect application - the personal device companion app that all T1V customers use to connect to their respective T1V solution (ThinkHub, HubVC, and Hub). The redesign features an all-new look and feel, along with a host of feature upgrades to optimize the user experience. Now, T1V users can connect and interact with content easier than ever.
T1V app users can now register their account with a business email address. Once registered, T1V users will receive in-app notifications and be able to access scheduled T1V meetings.
T1V app now features a new ‘Meetings’ tab, where app users can view all scheduled meetings. The user can single tap to join for quick access to their ThinkHub meeting, without the need to enter the Room Key or Pin.
To improve the collaboration experience for remote participants, T1V app features a dedicated annotation toolset built into the navigation menu.
T1V app now includes the ability to share your screen directly from the login screen. Users can also pause screen sharing from a new top-navigation that extends over the top of the user device for quick access. When shifting from viewing the Canvas and sharing your device screen, you can also choose to share a ‘snapshot’ of your device screen to the Canvas so as not to lose that content in your meeting workflow.
In the prior release version of T1V app (AirConnect), the application featured multiple app windows with different feature sets. AirConnect Access tools were housed in a separate pop-out menu, and enabled users the ability to view and control the Canvas. AirConnect Files tools (the ability to send Notes, URLs, and Files to the Canvas) were housed in a separate app window. Now, all of these features (and more!) have been consolidated to provide the user a more streamlined user interface in the T1V app. So in a single view, users can view and control the Canvas, while also sending content to the Canvas at the same time.
In addition to its standard palette, T1V app supports ‘Dark Mode,’ which uses a dark color scheme for users who find the inverted color palette is easier on the eyes and reduces eye strain.
We’ve improved the software video conference experience within all T1V solutions. Now, when a meeting invite includes the Hub room information and a video conference link, you can join both from the T1V app.
ThinkHub now allows students to virtually raise their hand on a connected Student Station using the T1V app to inform instructors that they want to contribute, have questions, or have completed their work without interrupting the class. Instructors will receive a notification that a student’s hand is raised and then can dismiss the raised hand from the ThinkHub Instructor Station.
AirConnect users can now register their app account with a business email address. As registered users, AC3 users will receive in-app notifications and be able to access scheduled Hub meetings.
AirConnect now features a new ‘Meetings’ tab, where AirConnect users can view all scheduled meetings. The user can single tap to join for quick access to their ThinkHub Session, without the need to have to enter any AirConnect Key or Password.
To improve the collaboration experience for remote participants, AirConnect users now have a dedicated annotation toolset built into their app navigation menu.
