Control Panel and Console Settings

For pre-configuration instructions for TrueConf Room, refer to the sections above.

The following describes how to use an application that has already been installed, connected to the server and authorized. Please note that in this case the main screen TrueConf Room is displayed.

Logging in to the control panel

To use TrueConf Room, open the control panel on your own device:

The control panel provides you with the following features:

• the list of upcoming and ongoing conferences (including those created using the TrueConf Calendar Connector extension);

• joining a conference;

• quick conference launch;

• list of contacts;

• creating a conference;

• the list of recent calls;

• settings;

• switching to shared content.

When logging in to the control panel, the PC monitor with TrueConf Room installed will wake up from sleep mode.

If there is no link to the control panel on the screen, request it from the administrator TrueConf Room.

Displaying content from a capture card outside a call

If the device with TrueConf Room installed is equipped with a capture card, you can stream content from an external device (for example, a laptop connected via HDMI). HDMI content sharing is available both during a conference and from the main screen outside a call. To display content on a large screen outside a call:

1. Connect the device that will be used to display the content to the capture card TrueConf Room.

2. Go to the control panel and click the Switch to content button. If multiple capture cards are used in the system, a dialog box for selecting the required one will appear.

Similarly, you can share content during a conference.

Using command line parameters

TrueConf Room supports the use of command-line launch parameters similarly to the client application:
