What’s New in iQ 3.0:
-
The black bar launcher that was at the bottom of the screen has been replaced with a full-screen experience. Tapping on the iQ launcher button will bring users to this new home screen.
-
Set a wallpaper from one of the new selection of presets, or add your own custom wallpaper from a USB drive.

Users are now able to move between apps and recent content quickly and easily from the home screen. Whenever a user moves between a web browser or the whiteboard for example, that activity will be shown in the recent section on the home screen.

You can easily pin a Recent tile to the Favorites section, and just as easily remove it.

You can also reorder your Favorites.

A new central location for all whiteboard, Player and Ink annotated content from the web browser or screen share
