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

on page 19.

Customizing Your Workspace

To see the video in the full screen:

>>

Press

Near.

To see the Place a Call screen:

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.
