Learn about the touchscreen console
The touchscreen console in a conference room is the heart of every meeting. On the screen, there are a few things you can do:
▪ Join a scheduled meeting by selecting the meeting.
Note: To get a meeting to show up on the room console, organizers should set the room as the meeting location.
▪ Start a new meeting by selecting Meet now .
▪ Make a phone call by selecting Dial pad and dialing a number.
▪ Project your laptop by plugging in the cable connected to the ClickShare dongle or HDMI port when ClickShare is not present. Depending on the room settings, it may be projected to the room automatically, or you may have to
select Present on the room console.
▪ Select More for instructions on how to add the room to a meeting, give feedback on the device, or change settings.
When you are in a meeting, you'll have options to manage your camera and mic, share content, add participants, and end the call.
Join a meeting
Join a scheduled meeting
Just find your meeting on the console and select it to join.
Any meetings currently happening are at the top of the list. After a meeting ends, it will stay on the screen for a little while so you can easily join again if you need to.
If a scheduled meeting doesn't appear on the console (or if the meeting tile shows More options ... instead of Join), you will need to invite the room or add the room on your laptop.
Start an unscheduled meeting
1. Select Meet now on the room console.
2. Under Type a name or number, find the people you want to invite.

Share your screen with in-room participants
To share your desktop with in-room meeting participants, just connect your laptop to the ClickShare dongle or appropriate cable connected to the room console.
Depending on your room settings, your screen may be shared automatically, or you may have to select Present on the room console.
Share in-room content
Content cameras allow you to stream a traditional whiteboard into meetings so remote participants can clearly see what is being drawn. While you write, we will square up the board, enhance the ink, and make anyone in front of the whiteboard transparent.
If the room you are in has a content camera, you can share to it by selecting Share > Content camera on the room console.
