Join from Your Laptop Too

Use it alongside the room

Open the meeting in the Teams app near the room and choose Add this room, or scan the QR code, to share content and see chat from your own device.

When prompted, select Don't use audio so the room handles the sound.

Join from your device

Avoid echo: if you join from a laptop in the room, keep its mic and speakers muted.

Cast from the Teams app

In a meeting or not, tap Share on the console and pick Cast.

From the Teams desktop app: Settings and more (…)Cast → choose this room → pick your screen → Cast.

Wired from the table

1Plug the HDMI cable at the table into your laptop.

Troubleshooting

Nothing on the room display?

Open Room Controls and pick a source (Table HDMI 1/2 or AirMedia). Make sure the HDMI cable is plugged in and the display is on.

Camera won't pan or zoom?

Auto Tracking is probably ON — it locks out manual control. Turn it OFF to use the pad and presets.

Wireless share won't connect?

For Teams, use Cast. For guests, select AirMedia in Room Controls and follow the on-screen code. Confirm you're on the network.

Don't see your meeting?

Forward the invite to the room, or tap Join with an ID and enter the meeting ID and passcode.

They can't hear you?

Check the Mute button on the console and make sure the table microphones aren't muted.

Echo on the call?

If you also joined from a laptop in the room, mute its mic and speakers.
