Chapter 3 | Starting a Videoconference
You can start a videoconference on the Scopia XT Series in several ways. This chapter outlines how to dial to other
endpoints in different modes, how to answer and end a meeting, and how to perform tasks during a videoconference,
such as sharing content or changing your layout.
To quickly dial with the settings best suited for a specific contact, we recommend setting up your phone book to
include calling preferences, along with the contact's information. For example, you can set a specific contact to audio-
only, and this setting is automatically used when calling this contact.

Tips for Participating in a Videoconference
There are several general recommendations you should follow to optimize your videoconferencing
experience.
We recommend that you read this section before participating in a videoconference for the first time.
•
Use natural gestures and speak normally as in a real meeting.
•
Do not rustle paper or tap on the table or the Microphone Pod.
•
Keyboard clicking can be disruptive to the videoconference, so we recommend using the mute
when listening but not actively participating.
•
Zooming too close can show that your eyes are not looking directly at the camera, in some cases.
