Using Infinity Connect to share content
You can use Infinity Connect to share content such as images and PDFs, or what's on your screen, with other participants. What you can share depends on which of the Infinity Connect clients you are using.
If you are already in the call using another video endpoint, you can open and use Infinity Connect just to share content - for example, if you have joined the conference from a meeting room with a dedicated endpoint, and you want to show a presentation from your laptop without worrying about finding and connecting the correct cables.
