Joining a virtual meeting
Visual Nexus meetings take place in a virtual meeting room. When you are logged into the system you will see those meetings that are available to you. There are two types of meeting rooms. The first type are meeting rooms that are always available and are used for ad hoc meetings when ever needed. The second type are meeting rooms that are reserved for a specific time and usable only by those people invited into the meeting. This is just the same as reserving an actual meeting room in your place of work. Always available meetings will be permanently displayed in your Meeting Manager. Scheduled meetings will only be displayed in the meeting manager at they time they are available to see. To learn how to reserve a meeting room click here.
To enter a meeting room simply double click on the room in the Meeting Rooms section of your Meeting Manger. To exit a meeting room click the red telephone on the Meeting Manager.
Meeting room types
There are three main types video layout in meeting rooms, each used for different purposes
- Single Video Window – If one or more of the endpoints attending the meeting room are vide conferencing room systems, the room may be set to have a single large video window. The image on the window will then switch to show whoever is speaking at any time.
- Multi video images – this mode is also called continuous presence. From one to sixteen video tiles appear in a single large video window. An orange border will highlight the people who are talking. If there are more people in the meeting than there are video tiles, just those that have spoken most recently will be shown.
- Multi video streams – In this mode from one to eight video streams will be sent to each user.
