In one call, some connections might be encrypted while others are not. However, the padlock icon might
not accurately indicate whether the call is encrypted if the call is cascaded or includes an audio-only
endpoint. If encryption is required on your system, the far-end must support encryption or the call will not
be completed.
Note:
To avoid security risks, Polycom recommends that all participants communicate the state
of their padlock icons verbally at the beginning of a call.
Sharing Content
You can share content in video calls using a few different methods. Besides showing content, you can
also receive and work with Microsoft content when a user initiates a content-sharing request. To show
people and content at the same time, your system administrator must configure the RealPresence Group
Series system for content.
Note:
You cannot display copyright-protected content, such as that included on some DVDs.
How you share content depends on whether you are controlling your system with the remote control, the
touch interface, or a Polycom touch device. You can share the following types of content:
▪ Any information stored on a computer connected to a RealPresence Group Series system or
Polycom touch device
▪ Images on a USB drive connected to the system
▪ Content sent from the Polycom

IP application, which is installed on a computer
and connected to the RealPresence Group Series system
▪ Content from a DVD or DVR player connected directly to a RealPresence Group Series system
▪ Content from the Polycom

▪ Content sent using the SmartPairing feature in the Polycom

RealPresence Mobile applications
You can share one content source and one people video source at a time, and you can switch to a
different type of content or people video source as needed. Participants at other sites can also show
content or people video sources, but only one site can share content at any given time.
Note:
To share content using a RealPresence Group 300 system, you must use the
Content IP application.
Download and Install Content IP
You need to download and install the Content IP application on a computer before you can use
it to show content.
Note:
If the room system is paired with a Polycom touch device, you do not need to install the
application onto your computer. After you connect your computer to the touch device over
USB, a version of the Content IP application launches automatically.
