How to Use Your JAV Smart Board Camera with Zoom on a Laptop (EShare BYOM Guide)

JAV setup guide · About 9 minutes to read · Tested setup: H10S Pro 86-inch

Your Zoom meeting is on your laptop. Your room camera is on the JAV Smart Board. Here is how to bring them together.

A customer asked us how to use the board's camera while running Zoom on a laptop. Our support team tested the setup in-house on an H10S Pro 86-inch. With EShare BYOM enabled, EShare Virtual Camera became available in Zoom, with the meeting still controlled from the laptop.

This guide is based on an internally tested H10S Pro 86-inch setup. EShare controls and availability can vary with the board's firmware and app versions. Check support for your particular Windows or Mac configuration; this is not a claim that every model, operating system, or firmware version has been tested.

What is EShare BYOM?

BYOM means Bring Your Own Meeting. You use your own laptop to run a meeting while connecting to compatible hardware in the room. In this guide, that hardware is the Smart Board's built-in camera.

Zoom stays on the laptop. EShare handles the camera connection. You still use your laptop to join the call, manage participants, and control the meeting.

Camera sharing is a separate step from screen sharing. Seeing your laptop screen on the board does not confirm that Zoom can use the board's camera. An HDMI display connection alone does not establish the EShare BYOM camera link.

Before you begin

• A JAV Smart Board with EShare and a compatible BYOM feature. This guide's tested model is the H10S Pro 86-inch.
• A Windows or Mac laptop that supports the EShare BYOM client and your installed Zoom version.
• The Zoom desktop app installed on the laptop.
• The laptop and board on the same local network, with permission for the devices to communicate. Using the same Wi-Fi network is usually the simplest starting point.
• Permission to install EShare and use the camera. On a company-managed laptop, your IT team may need to approve these permissions.

EShare offers Windows and Mac downloads, but its general download requirements do not by themselves confirm BYOM support for every laptop. If the BYOM controls below are missing, check with JAV support before your meeting.

Step 1 — Download and install EShare on your laptop

1. Open the official EShare download page, or follow the download instructions shown in the board's EShare app.
2. Choose EShare for Windows or EShare for Mac, matching your laptop.
3. Download the installer, open it, and follow its instructions. Ask your IT team for help if installation is restricted.
4. Open EShare on the laptop when installation is complete.

You will use the EShare desktop app for this camera setup. Keep it open while you complete the next steps.

Step 2 — Connect the laptop to the JAV Smart Board

1. Turn on the board and open its EShare app.
2. Check the board's device name on the EShare screen so you can choose the correct board.
3. Open EShare on the laptop. Confirm that the laptop and board are on the same local network.
4. Select the board's name in the laptop's device list.
5. Follow any connection or pairing instructions shown by EShare. If asked for a code, use the code currently displayed on the board.

Check before moving on: the laptop should show the selected board as connected and make its connection controls available. If the board does not appear, use the connection method shown on its EShare screen, or jump to the troubleshooting table.

Step 3 — Enable BYOM on the Smart Board

1. On the board, return to the EShare interface.
2. Find the camera icon in the bottom-right corner. This is the entry used in our tested setup.
3. Tap the icon and enable BYOM. If separate camera controls appear, enable camera sharing as well.

This lets EShare make the board's camera available to the connected laptop. Without this step, a successful EShare connection may still leave Zoom without the room camera.

Different layout? Look for the BYOM control in your EShare version. If it is missing or unavailable, send JAV support the board model, firmware version, and EShare version. Do not assume the same icon is present on every model.

Step 4 — Enable the virtual camera on the laptop

1. Return to the laptop's EShare app while it is connected to the board.
2. Find and click its camera icon to enable the camera link.
3. Check the enabled state. In the version we tested, the camera icon turns red.

In that interface, red means the camera link is enabled; it is not an error warning. Other versions may use a different indicator. The final check is a live image in Zoom.

Step 5 — Select EShare Virtual Camera in Zoom

1. Open the Zoom desktop app on the laptop.
2. Open Settings, then its video settings. Depending on your version, this section may be called Video or Video & effects.
3. Open the Camera dropdown and select EShare Virtual Camera.
4. Check the preview. It should show the view from the board's camera.
5. Start or join your meeting. If you are already in a meeting, use the arrow beside the video control to select EShare Virtual Camera, then start video if it is off.

You can keep using the laptop to control Zoom. Leave EShare connected so the camera remains available. For the current Zoom interface, see Zoom's video preview instructions.

Step 6 — Test your setup before the meeting

Run a short test before guests join. Check each item:

• The laptop still shows the correct board as connected in EShare.
• BYOM and camera sharing are enabled on the board.
• The laptop's camera link is enabled; its icon is red in the tested version.
• Zoom lists EShare Virtual Camera as the selected camera.
• The preview shows a live image from the board. Wave in front of its camera to check that the view updates.
• The picture stays live during a short test call, without repeated freezes or disconnections.

Test sound separately in Zoom's Audio settings. A working camera preview does not confirm that the board's microphone or speakers are in use.

EShare Virtual Camera Not Working? Try These Fixes

Start with the row that matches what you see. On a small screen, scroll the table sideways if needed.

Check laptop permissions

On Windows 11, open Settings → Privacy & security → Camera and check camera access, including access for desktop apps. Windows 10 uses Settings → Privacy → Camera. See Microsoft's camera privacy guide.

On a Mac, open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Camera and allow Zoom when requested. Follow any prompt to reopen the app. See Zoom's Mac permissions guide. EShare may also ask for permissions needed by the features you use. If settings are managed or the camera still does not appear, ask IT to review the app and virtual camera setup.

For office networks, your IT team can use EShare's official network deployment guide. Avoid changing firewall rules without their approval.
