More than four people in DX80 grid view

[Jones.Steve]

I am a new DX80 user, having used WebEx for a couple of years.  I have to admit that I find the differences between WebEx conference calls, WebEx teams, and now my DX80 functionality very confusing!

When I join someone else's personal room for a conference call, i can see a maximum of 4 people in grid view.  Can I change that?

I use my DX80 with a laptop and two more screens.  When I choose to share my screen, it appears that i can only share what is on my DX80, and not what is on my other screens.  I used to be able to do that when using the app on my laptop?DX80

For the DX80, its a good idea to look over the user and reference guides:

You can press the layout button from the top right, when in a call, to change video layouts. I believe 2x2 isthe max grid for a DX80 though.
For sharing your PC screen, there should be an option on the touch screen - Show PC

The DX80 does support more than just the 4 grid view when in a Webex call see attached image.

When you join a Webex from an on-prem system OR when you have the Meetings app SIP dial-back to a cloud-registered endpoint, you’re joining via standard SIP video call. In that case, all of the compositing of the video (ie joining all participants into a single image) is done in the Webex bridge and sent to the endpoint via a single video stream. In this case DTMF 2 is instructing the bridge to change the layout of what it’s sending you.

When you join from a Webex-registered endpoint and join via dial-in, you’re joining via a Locus call. In that case, each participant has a separate stream send down to the endpoint and the endpoint itself is doing all the compositing. Since the endpoint itself is creating the layout, the meeting/bridge doesn’t understand DTMF 2 as there’s nothing for it do with that command.

hope this helps, please rate

Thanks for your reply Eric.

I actually do not understand the terms you have used (sorry - my bad).

Can I do anything at my end, to have more than four images showing simultaneously?
