How to Deploy Airtame Using SCCM

In this post, we will deploy Airtame Using SCCM. We will use the MSI application to deploy Airtame using SCCM on Windows 10/11 client machines.

Airtame provides subscription-based hybrid conferencing, screen sharing, and digital signage solutions that make shared screen experiences simpler, smarter, and more engaging.

No matter where they are in the world, everyone can share seamlessly from their mobile devices to the screen on the wall, whether a student in a classroom or a team member at a hybrid meeting.

Airtame is a screen-sharing solution that lets you wireless present from your favorite devices. The Airtame app is available at no additional cost. Airtame supports both WiFi and Ethernet connections.

To connect via WiFi, select your network from the WiFi list and select 5GHz over 2.4GHz if possible. By clicking “Connect” and entering your computer’s user password, Airtame will temporarily switch to its hotspot to transfer the configuration.

What is an MSI file?

Windows packages that contain installation information, including files to be installed and installation locations, are called MSI files. The EXE and MSI files both install and launch Windows programs.

The EXE file may not always contain an installer and may launch its program when double-clicked. An MSI file, however, always includes an installer.

Airtame Silent Install Uninstall Commands

Let’s start with the Deployment of Airtame using SCCM. As told earlier, we are using the MSI file for Airtame Deployment. You will see why the availability of MSI files for any application brings sparkles in the eyes of the SCCM Admin.

One can easily download the 64-bit application directly from Airtame. There are multiple files available for this download. Once you click the “Download” button, you will be prompted to select the files you need and choose the MSI setup for the Windows 64-bit architecture.

Now, as we get the MSI, we don’t need to work on prerequisites, as we used to tell you in the previous posts in which we used EXE files.

• We have to download the logo of Airtame, as we already extracted the MSI file.

The following table gives you all the details required for the Airtame Deployment tool using SCCM. This includes the command line for Airtame silent install, Uninstall, and Product Code.
