Thanks for the reply! Out of interest, what models of Iiyama screens and Acer projectors are you using?

We're finding that particularly with the MS dongles that the connection is becoming more and more unreliable. As our network devices have increased (every student has a laptop/iPad in the classroom, as well as staff laptops) they've become more of a nuisance than a saviour. I will say however that in areas of the school that are less traffic dense, the MS dongles still perform relatively well. I think it's more that our wireless traffic has increased so much since Covid that the interference in some areas of our school is causing issues with the WiDi adapters.

Hi all!, We're currently in the midst of decommissioning most of our Microsoft WiDi adapters around the school and are looking for some alternatives that other schools may have experience using. On the cheaper end, we've tried J5Create adapters, but found these to be just as inconsistent as the WiDi's have become. On the other end of the scale, we've also demoed Vivi and found it to be good (I thought it was excellent), while a little bit more expensive than our DFO is willing to shell out at the moment (especially for a school-wide deployment). If you have any experience with any other adapters/wireless display systems, I'd love to hear about it! For the record as well, it'd be good to know if some schools have just ditched wireless display tech altogether (in the classroom) for the most part - this is an idea we've been floating around for a few months now too. Cheers! Thanks in advances, CB.

Thanks for this! - I will give it a go.

Just bumping this thread as we are also experiencing a myriad of problems with OneNote this term too! Initially we had problems with Teams not generating notebooks on creation. I'd say this affected around 75% of the auto-generated Teams (we also use Salamander). This problem I believe has been rectified for most staff, although did flood our Helpdesk at the beginning of September. Since then, we've had problems with some staff not being able to distribute pages, some students not receiving the distributed work, staff not being able to mark students work as the changes don't sync correctly and then the pages they have marked get placed in the 'misplaced sections' section... It's really been relentless this year - worse than any year we've had before anyhow. It'd be helpful if Microsoft had a more concrete timeline that we could communicate to staff, although I appreciate that's not how these things tend to work. Frustrating regardless! 😬
