Polycom 300 manual Viewing People and Content

What can you expect to see on the displays during a telepresence conference in an OTX room? That depends on the type of system you are calling at the other site and whether your call is to one site (point-to-point) or multiple sites (multipoint). This chapter describes what you can expect to see in these various scenarios.

This chapter also describes how to bring content (such as slides, spreadsheets, or other documents) into the OTX room using a laptop or an optional document camera.
