About Local PC Display

Using the Display as Local PC Display

When using the screen as your PC screen, we recommend that you set Local PC Dis- play to On – see Screen Settings in Control Panel. This implies that you can display your PC locally while having a video-confer- ence, and you can keep on working without having the Far End party viewing your PC screen.

We also recommend to have the Auto Layout setting set to On (default) to get a suitable layout when toggling from Local PC Display mode to standard conference mode.

Use the Selfview key to toggle between Local PC Display mode and standard vide- oconference mode. An indicator tells you that your PC image is displayed locally.

Example: You are using the system as a PC and get an incoming call.

When the setting Use Screen as Local PC monitor is On, you will keep your PC image displayed locally and the incoming call pops up in a PIP or as smaller images in a 1+3 layout, depending on your system. You will see Local PC displayed in the big picture and Far End and/or Near End (yourself) displayed in smaller pictures.

Press the Selfview key to switch to standard conference mode. The Local PC image is no longer displayed and Far End is displayed in the big picture or full screen. Press Selfview again to see Near End. Pressing Selfview a third time will bring back the Local PC display mode.
