Seeing a presentation shared by an H.323 endpoint.
When an H.323 endpoint shares content in a video call or in a videoconference, the SCOPIA
Video Gateway automatically switches to the presentation channel and starts sending the
presentation to the Lync Client. The presentation is supported in H.264 format with a
maximum resolution of 720p at 30fps; the minimum supported resolution is VGA at 30fps.
This feature is available in every point-to-point call between an H.323 endpoint and a Lync
Client when you share presentation from the H.323 endpoint side and also when sharing a
presentation in a videoconference housed by an MCU (RADVISION or third-party).
Contact your network administrator to check if these features are available in your organization.
Setting up the Lync Client Contact List
You need to setup your Lync Client Contact List so that it contains meeting rooms equipped with
H.323 room systems.
If your video network supports additional videoconferencing features, you need to add contacts
that represent these features to the Contact List:
•
Virtual meeting rooms — Virtual meeting rooms are used for creating videoconferences with
many participants. The video layout of a virtual meeting room allows you to see many
participants at the same time.
•
Auto Attendant — This contact provides easy access to the list of videoconferences in
progress. You select the conference you want to join from this list.
•
Your personal virtual room — This contact provides immediate access to your personal virtual
room from where you can create videoconferences with many participants at the same time.
The Contact List shows the availability status (presence) of contacts in real time. The list also
reflects the availability of a contact that was set up to receive calls simultaneously on more than
one device (for example, on a Lync Client and on an H.323 endpoint).
