During the conference

Content Sharing

The VCS terminals TrueConf Videobar 015 and TrueConf Videobar 025 support content sharing during a video call or group conference. To do this, you need to connect a device that transmits content via an HDMI cable. For example, you can connect a laptop to the terminal and share a presentation.

To start sharing content, you should do the following:

1. Before or right during a conference, connect the device to the HDMI in port.

2. If necessary, enable content transmission via HDMI.

3. After that, your device’s content will be displayed in your video window (instead of your camera video).

4. You can switch from content sharing to camera using the Switch camera/content button on the remote control or in the conference menu, under the list of camera devices:

Output to the second screen

If you need to duplicate the displayed image on a second monitor, use the HDMI out 2 port. The connected screen will then show an exact copy of the main screen's image.

Keep in mind that the HDMI out 1 output on TrueConf Videobar 010 and TrueConf Videobar 015 terminals does not support audio stream output.
