Sharing Content during a Call
About this task
Once a call has been established, you can share your computer screen with the remote endpoint.
If you are not in a call, you can share your presentation with participants in the local conference room
(see
Sharing Content in the Local Conference Room
on page 67).
If the remote endpoint can receive presentation in addition to live video, the XT Codec Unit sends both
live video and presentation without switching to DVI mode. Otherwise, the XT Codec Unit can send only
one video stream. The XT Codec Unit sends the presentation in place of live video and switches
automatically to DVI mode. When the presentation ends, the XT Codec Unit switches back automatically
to the live camera.
By default, the total available bandwidth is evenly divided between live video and presentation. In most
cases it ensures the best content sharing experience. If necessary, your system can change the
bandwidth dedicated to live video and presentation to suite your network requirements.
Before you begin
Before sharing content, proceed as follows:
• Configure your computer to the resolution and refresh rates supported by the system. See
