Sharing content

[TechyMS]

Hey Everyone,

Have a question. Trainers would like to do training over VC and they want to view their own content while viewing the computer screen of the trainee on the other end and at the same time. Additionally they would like the trainee to see the same thing. Is there a way to share content at the same time from both ends of  VC call SX10? We looked at the screen layouts and all we could get was PIP of both video cameras and it's easy to switch back and forth between computer screens but they want to view both at the same time. Seeing the trainer is not necessary.  

Thank you!

Presentation content can only be shared from one endpoint at any time during a video conference.  One workaround is for one of the endpoints to send their content via the main video, while the other is sending their via the content channel.

If I understand you correctly, not sure how that would work. One of the end users would need to have their back toward the TV so that their computer could be facing the camera mounted under the TV.

For some endpoints you can connect your computer to the presentation cable of the endpoint, and instead of sharing content as you normally would, you could change the main camera source to be your computer instead of the camera.  However, I just checked the SX10 and they don't allow you to select a different input other than the integrated camera, so the workaround I mentioned doesn't apply here. I thought it was possible with the SX10, but I was mistaken, so each endpoint will have to share content one at a time.
