Using the Desktop Client

Application Areas

The desktop application is broken up into several functional areas. We’ll briefly discuss each of the areas and then go into depth. Please refer to the following screen shot as you read.

The Left side bar auto-hides (minimizes) and opens on mouse-over. It can be locked open with the double arrows at the bottom. The left side bar contains the menu, SIP phone, Community selector, Meeting Room selector and Community Members section.

The Right side bar also auto-hides and opens on mouse-over. The Right side bar has the chat room or private chat conversation selector and also the WebApp selector. What is selected here will be displayed in the Chat and WebApp Area

When in a meeting room, user avatars and any live videos or deskshares will be displayed in the “In meeting room controls and video tiles” area.

Left side bar

The Left side bar contains all of the operational controls for the desktop client. This is where you’ll find the Menu, the Search box to find users and meetings, the SIP Softphone feature, the Community selector and all of the Meeting Rooms and Community Members for the selected Community(ies).

Clicking on the Diamond next to the options above will expand that option.

Clicking on the double arrows at the bottom of the window will lock the left side bar open.

Menu

When a user clicks on the menu button in the upper left corner of the left side bar they might notice that the Menu of items changes slightly when in a meeting vs. not in a meeting:

The following are all of the menu items:

Play Audio/Video File into Meeting 

The desktop client has the ability to broadcast Audio or Video files directly into a meeting as a separate camera. This unique feature allows for an excellent audio or video experience for remote parties.

We’ll describe each of the controls by referencing the number shown above. 

1 – Audio/Video Position indicator – The position indicator moves as the audio or video is being played. The user can drag the position indicator to change the playback position.

2 – Play Button – Once a file is loaded press the Play button to begin playback. Broadcasting to the meeting, however, is controlled by #6. The Play button will change to a Pause button when the media is playing.

3 – Stop Button – This will stop playback and return to the beginning of the media file.

4 – Sound Output Button – Click on this to mute or unmute audio.

5 – Volume Slider – The user broadcasting media to the meeting can control the volume of the media for all parties.

6 – Broadcast Button – Broadcast of the media to the rest of the meeting does not start until the broadcast button has been pressed. This allows the user to position within the audio or video where they’d like to begin.

7 – Loop Button – Play the media file in a loop continuously.

8 – File Folder Button – Click the file folder button to select the audio or video file for playback. A text list of media files can also be selected to play a series of files.

9 – Length of Media / Position – The length of the media file time as well as the time position in the media.

10 – Playback Settings – Seen below, this allows the user to control the quality of the playback to the audience. Frame Rate, Bandwidth and Resolution can all be controlled for the remote parties. A checkbox is also there to show the quality of the transmitted video locally.

11 – Full-Screen Button – Set the video playback tool to full screen.

Record the meeting

Recording Preferences

In Menu → Preferences → Recording you’ll find the recording preferences. They are documented here: Preferences V4#Recording

Recording (default)

By default the desktop client will record in MP4 format. This makes for easy playback and uploading to a service such as YouTube. 

This menu item will be greyed out if the room owner has disabled meeting recording.

When you select the ‘Record the Meeting’ option from the menu, all participants will see who is recording the meeting and you’ll see the following in the Video Tile area:

Here’s a closeup of the control:

The pause button will pause recording and the stop button will stop it. When the recording is stopped a chat message will be received with a link to the recording file.

Meetings

The ‘Current Info’ menu item will display information about the current Meeting Room that you are in.

Search for Meetings

Search

Search for meetings lets you search for meetings within your communities.

The drop-down box ‘From my communities’ allows you to also select ‘Only my booked meetings’.

Entering text in the search box in the center near the bottom of the window will immediately search as you type. You can also search by Community Name by clicking on the down arrow next to the magnifying glass.

Using the ‘Export’ button will allow you to export an iCal file for import to a calendar entry.

Create

At the top of the Bookings window clicking on the ‘Create’ tab will allow you to Book a meeting directly from the desktop client instead of needing to do it through the user portal.

Community lets you specify which community you will book the meeting in (if you belong to multiple Communities this would be relevant).

Calling a H.323 or SIP Client 

This menu option is used to dial a room system to bring it into the meeting room you are in.

Click on the Drop down for SIP or H.323 and enter the URI to call to contact the remote system. Advanced settings lets the user control the bandwidth used to connect to the remote device. Press “Call” button after you have entered the URI.

The “System Messages” box will display the status of the call. Once the call is established the system message area should display “Call Connected”.

Clicking on the dial pad icon will reveal a dial pad for sending DTMF tones to the remote system.

Help

Camera Configuration allows the user to enable/disable and control other settings about the cameras on the PC.

This is the same configuration as found by clicking on the Down arrow next to the Camera Control Icon when in a meeting.

If you add additional cameras to the system after starting the desktop client, click on the ‘Rescan’ button at the top of the Camera Configuration screen.

Green check marks will be next to each camera that is enabled. Click on the camera name to enable/disable. If no cameras are enabled, the ‘Still Image’ will be used. You can set your Still Image and your Avatar in the web User Portal.

On each camera video, there’s a Rotate icon to let you rotate the video as needed.

Underneath each camera display, you can control the Frame Rate, maximum Bandwidth, and the Resolution to send (you can only send a maximum of what is configured in the Meeting Room that you are in).

Select Audio Devices

This menu item brings up the Audio Setup Wizard.

If you plug in a new headset or other piece of hardware after you start the desktop client, you’ll need to scan the system for new devices. This is done by pressing “Scan Devices” in any of the hardware drop-down menus or via the button on the Audio Setup wizard as seen below:

Speaker

To test your output, select the audio device you’d like to use from the drop-down menu next to the speaker icon. When you are satisfied with your selection, click “Test Sound” and you should hear some music. The button will change to “Stop Test”. Click “Stop Test” to end the sound output.

If you don’t hear music after clicking on “Test Sound” check the sound settings on your PC (Windows Control Panel, Mac Preferences, Linux Sound Settings) or your output device (speakers, headset, etc.).

Microphone

To test your input (microphone), select the appropriate microphone from the drop-down menu next to the Microphone icon. When you are satisfied with your selection, click “Test Microphone” and talk when you see the button change to “Stop Test”. When you click “Stop Test” the words you just spoke will be played back through the speaker that was selected in the previous test. 

Set Desk Share Layout

The Desk Share Layout control lets you choose whether Deskshare operates as a window or full screen. A small menu as seen following will appear next to the Deskshare button near the top of the screen:

For most users we recommend using Windowed as this allows the user to resize what is being shared and easily move the Deskshare window from screen to screen.

Lightboard mode enables the Lightboard Feature documented below.

Preferences

The desktop client’s User Preferences allow a user to control how the desktop client operates on startup and under normal operation. The desktop client’s user Preferences are set by clicking on the Menu button in the upper left of the application and then by clicking on ‘Preferences’. Once you do that the following pop-up window will be shown:

General Settings

There are two startup options listed at the very top of the Preferences window. These are Auto Login and Language.

The language used the in desktop client will be English unless you select a different language from the drop-down menu at the top of the window.

Disable Screen Saver While In Meetings

If you happen to be in meetings where you don’t interact with your keyboard or mouse, the computer’s screen saver may get enabled. This setting will prevent the screen saver from enabling while you are in a meeting.

Skip initial ‘Join a Meeting / Sign-In’ screen

Checking the Auto Sign-In box (or unchecking it) determines whether the desktop client proceeds directly into the application or stops and prompts at the Sign-In page each time.

Auto Sign-In with saved password

If using a userid and password the user can use this option to skip having to enter their password. This does not work for Single Sign On users.

Confirm when switching meetings

If this is checked, users will be prompted with a dialog box to ensure they want to leave the meeting they are in and go to the meeting they clicked on.

Skip startup sound

If this is checked the little guitar clip that’s normally heard when starting the desktop client will not play.

Audio

System Sounds Volume

The System Sounds Volume slider control lets the user control how loud the different desktop client system sounds are relative to their overall system volume.

Microphone on when entering meeting

Enabling the “Microphone on when entering meeting” option will cause your selected Microphone to automatically be enabled for every meeting that you join. If you do not enable this feature, you’ll need to click on the microphone for every room that you enter to enable it.

Auto Gain Control

The Auto Gain Control (AGC) feature adjusts the microphone input value automatically. If you have issues with your microphone always going to the maximum setting you may want to disable this setting.

Enable Echo Suppression

Echo suppression code attempts to deal with echo caused by your microphone picking up sounds from your speakers. Users with headsets don’t generally require this. In most cases, however, the user will want to leave this enabled.

Video

Camera on when entering meeting

Enabling the “Camera on when entering meeting” option will cause your last selected camera to automatically be enabled for every meeting that you join. If you do not enable this feature, you’ll need to click on the camera for every room that you enter to enable it.

User Grouping

Each user can have multiple videos coming from their clients. Enabling User Grouping will contain all of the videos and user deskshare together in a “Picture-in-Picture” display.

 You can select which video is larger with the double box icon (as shown in the screenshot above. The inset video can also be moved around by dragging it.

Show only active Videos

Users can choose to display video or not. If users do not show video, by default they will be represented by a still image they have uploaded. If as a user you’d like to save desktop space and not show the still images, you can enable ‘Show only active Videos’ and not display the still images.

Disable Animations

Animations are used as windows open or close or as you join and exit rooms. To speed up the display you may want to disable these animations which is the purpose of the ‘Disable Animations’ setting.

Change Still Image

The still image is displayed when the camera is enabled but no video cameras are enabled. This can also be seen in Menu -> Configuration -> Camera Configuration

Always show meeting control buttons

This setting will force the meeting control buttons to always be displayed within the Video Tile area.

These are the meeting control buttons, they auto-hide by default at the top of the screen when in a meeting room:

Use a Compact Message Style

The setting “Use a Compact Message Style” will disable avatars in the Chat window and simply show different user names in different colors.

System Message

Informational messages from the system can be enabled or disabled or show only your own with this setting. System messages will be sent if somebody in a Meeting Room you are in is having connectivity troubles. 

SIP

The desktop client has SIP Softphone capabilities built in. This is where you control the registration information required to register to the SIP system.

Register / unRegister

The Register button will allow you test the registration immediately. If successful, a green light will be shown and the window will indicate ‘Registered’ where it says ‘Not Registered’ at the top of the window.

User

This is the user part of your SIP registration. Sometimes your SIP user account is represented as sip:user@domain or sip:user@server. This entry would be the ‘user’.

Auth User

The Auth User setting is used by some registrars (such as Cisco Call Manager) for authentication purposes. Your system administrator will supply this to you if your system uses Auth User.

Password

The SIP password for your Registrar should be provided to you by a system administrator. This is usually a complex and long value for security purposes.

Auto Deskshare Grouping

This setting controls whether Deskshare windows are automatically grouped with other video tiles from other users in a Meeting Room.

Choose LB Key Color

This button lets the user choose the Lightboard Key Color that will be used as a masking color for Lightboard mode. This would be the color that you make the background of anything you want to be replaced with your camera video within a deskshare session.

This is also accessible in the Camera Control.

In certain video tile modes the user will be able to control the live video area, but the user will always be able to adjust the entire video area size with the bottom bar.

Special Features

 

Lightboard Mode 

The Lightboard Mode allows a user to use their favorite presentation software and give their slide backgrounds a ‘green screen’ to become part of the presentation. This allows the presenter to create engaging presentations and stay engaged with his or her audience.

You can utilize PowerPoint or almost any other application that allows you to define a background color (or even your computer’s desktop).

To enable Lightboard Mode, while in a meeting enable it in the Deskshare settings:

The Deskshare icon will then change and show the ‘key color’ inside the Deskshare icon. To change the Deskshare key color or camera that will be used, click on the Camera Control settings down-arrow:

With Lightboard Mode enabled the user can select any enabled camera to be the Lightboard camera. The key color can also be set in the Camera Control settings by clicking on the green box (default color is green). There are several colors that can be selected. Any time that color appears within the red box of a Deskshare, the video from the selected camera will replace that color.

WebApps

AppTabs have been renamed to WebApps (as we don’t have any more tabs) and we’ve made them easier to manage. In the right-hand side panel, click on the + symbol to add new WebApps.

By clicking on the ‘+’ in the right side panel the user will see the ‘Add new WebApp’ page. The user can pick from some suggested WebApps or enter any URL in the box that says ‘Enter URL’.

 

The WebApp page controls in the lower left of the WebApp area are documented above.

WebApps can also be assigned when creating a meeting. Here’s the ‘Book a Meeting’ page (accessible from Menu Button → Meetings → Book a Meeting):

When WebApps are added to a room, all participants that enter that meeting room will have the WebApps available in their right side panel.
