from your laptop and then play a DVD. Participants at other sites can also share
content. When another site begins sharing, their content replaces any content
currently being viewed.
What You See When You Share Content

conference supports Dual Images, you can see both the people at the far end and
any shared content at the same time. This is possible because the system can send
and receive two simultaneous sources of video.
In calls that do not support Dual Images, all participants see any shared content.
In these calls, the system sends one video source and receives one video source.
The site that initiated sharing sees both the far end (the video that is received) and
the shared content (the video that is sent). The site receiving the shared content
sees only the content, since it can only receive one video source at a time.
