Cisco Video Conferencing (Touch Panel)
This Cisco Video Conferencing system (touch panel) supports Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and Google Meet. There are multiple ways to join a meeting using the touch panel in the room.
Video Conferencing - Join a Cloud Meeting from a Cisco Conferencing System
Option 1: The Room was Invited to the Meeting Directly
If your meeting was scheduled by inviting the room to the meeting, a button should appear shortly before the meeting begins allowing you to directly join. This is the easiest method to join a video conference meeting.
Option 2: Manually Join a Meeting from the Room
You can also manually join a meeting. To do so, select the appropriate meeting type on the touch panel. Once prompted, you can enter the required meeting information (room number, password, etc.) or you can visit and provided links and invite the room to your meeting.
Microphones and Speakers
The master volume is controlled by the volume settings on the Cisco Video Conference System.
More detailed settings are available in the Room Control option on the Cisco Video Conference System touch panel. You are able to individually adjust microphone levels and/or mute the lapel mic and the ceiling microphones.
Microphone Options
- Wireless Mic Volume – Controls the lapel microphone
- Ceiling Mic – Ceiling installed microphones
