Switching Between Full Screen Video and the Home Screen

Before the call connects, you see the near video in a small window on the Place a Call (Home) screen. When the call connects, the system automatically shows the video in the whole screen. You can switch back to the Place a Call screen during a call, for example, if you need to adjust a user setting, and your system is configured to allow you to do so.

To learn about adjusting user settings, see Customizing Your Workspace on page 19.

To see the video in the full screen:

>>Press Near.

To see the Place a Call screen:

>>Press Home.

Showing, Moving, and Turning Off the PIP

The Picture-in-Picture (PIP) gives you another view of your video conference so that your call is more like a face-to-face meeting. The view shown in the PIP changes automatically, depending on how the system is set up and what is happening in the meeting. You can also exchange the view shown in the PIP with that shown in the main screen.

For example, during a call, the PIP displays what your main camera is sending to the far site. (This lets you adjust the camera if you need to.) If the far site shows any type of content, the content appears in the main part of the screen, and the PIP changes to show the people at the far site.

To show, move, or turn off the PIP during a call:

‰Press PIP to turn the PIP on.

‰While the PIP has a yellow border, press PIP repeatedly to move it to different corners of the screen.

‰After a brief pause, the PIP border turns blue. Then, press PIP to turn the PIP off. The PIP setting remains in effect until you change it or system is restarted.

To swap the views shown in the PIP and the main screen:

1.If the PIP is not showing, press PIP to turn the PIP on.

2.Press Near twice and select the Swap PIP icon.
