During a videoconference, your computer content is private and is only shared with others when
you manually choose to do so.
Before you begin
• (Optional) To automatically start displaying content locally as soon as you connect a
computer, access the presentation settings . From the XT Series web interface, select
Administrator Settings > Presentation > General. From the endpoint's main menu, select
Configure > Advanced > Presentation.
Set Local Presentation Mode to Automatic (endpoint’s interface) or <auto> (web
interface). In this mode, the system always shows the computer content when not in a call,
and asks if you want to accept incoming calls. To start sharing content with remote
participants in a videoconference, follow the procedure below.
• Connect your computer to the XT Series (see
Connecting a Computer to the XT Series using
the DVI port on page 65).
Procedure
1.
To share computer content with participants in a videoconference, press Present on
the XT Remote Control Unit, from the endpoint's main menu, or from the in-call menu.
From the XT Series web interface, select More Actions > Presentation.
If you are only using the XT Series for a local presentation, your computer content is
typically displayed automatically when you connect it to the XT Codec Unit. You only need
to perform this step if you set Local Presentation Mode to Manual (see
Before you
begin on page 70).
The Avaya XTE240 screen displays a presenting icon in the bottom corner to indicate
your computer content is visible to others during a call. In addition, if you use Avaya IX
Room System XT Control to navigate menus with a keyboard and mouse, the icon in the
taskbar changes to .
2.
To end sharing computer content, press Present
or Back on the XT Remote
Control Unit.

Changing Your Own Video Layout
About this task
This section details how to change your own video layout during a call or meeting. A video layout
is the arrangement of participant images as they appear on the monitor in a videoconference. If
the meeting includes a presentation, a layout can also refer to the arrangement of the presentation
image together with the meeting participants.
The available layouts depend on the number of streams in your meeting and how many monitors
you have. There are three streams: your own video, the remote video, and a shared presentation.
