How do I join a Zoom meeting with the 256 AER video conferencing system?

After waking the Poly system and the screens come on, do the following:

  1. Tap the Join button from Home screen of the Poly touch panel.

  2. Enter the Meeting ID or Personal Link name from the invitation you received from the meeting host, or that you created ahead of time.

  3. Set Camera Control to the appropriate mode for the room participants by tapping the Camera Control button on the Poly touch panel.

    • Manual is the default and shows a wide-angle view of the room - not usually optimal.

    • Speaker Focus will cause the camera to track the person predominantly speaking or moving about.

    • Auto-Framing will cause the camera to track onto a group around a primary speaker.

    • Smart Gallery extracts images of regions of interest (for example, a person that is speaking) from the video stream of a camera into separate, individual video streams.

The Poly touch panel will show many of the familiar buttons for muting the microphone, starting and stopping camera video, sharing content from the in-room PC or laptop, chat, managing participants, Leaving a meeting, and so on.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO LEAVE YOUR CALL WHEN FINISHED. You can do this by tapping the red Leave button. The Poly system and displays will power down automatically after a period of time. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MANUALLY TURN OFF DISPLAYS.
