(Available to Infinity Connect desktop client and Infinity Connect Web App via Chrome users only)

1. From the toolbar at the bottom of the window, select Share screen.
2. For Chrome users, if this is the first time you have shared your screen, enable screen sharing.
3. Select the window or screen you want to share.

The best way to share a PowerPoint presentation is to start the Slide Show from within PowerPoint first, and then tab to Infinity Connect, share your screen, and select the Slide Show window.

1. From the toolbar at the bottom of the window, select Share images or PDFs.
2. Drag and drop the file(s) you want to share into the Infinity Connect window. You can add multiple files, and they can be a combination of images and PDFs. Each image will be converted into an individual slide, as will each page of each PDF.
3. Select Start presenting. The first slide will appear in a presentation thumbnail at the top left of the screen (or in the main video window if you are presentation-only). Use the left < and right > controls to scroll through the slides. You can make the slides appear in your main video window by clicking on the presentation thumbnail.
4. To stop sharing the slides, from the toolbar select Stop presenting.

When a participant starts a presentation, you will automatically see the content they are sharing as your main image, and the image of the participants will reduce to a small thumbnail at the top left corner.

You can toggle between viewing the presentation and viewing the participants by clicking on the thumbnail.

Whether you are the presenter or a participant, you can view the current presentation in a separate pop-out window.

To do this, from the bottom right of the screen select Open presentation in new window. To close the window, from the bottom right of the screen select Close.

When a participant is showing a presentation, by default you receive it as a series of still images. This is suitable for documents and screens being shared, but if the presentation contains a lot of movement it may appear jerky. If this is the case, you can elect to receive the presentation in full motion as HD video.

To do this, from the bottom right of the screen select View full motion presentation. To return to the default view, select View still image presentation.

Start sending and receiving video

(For users who have initially joined without audio and video)

From the toolbar at the bottom of the window, select Connect with audio and video. Select the camera and microphone you wish to use, and then select Start.

(For users who have initially joined without audio and video)

From the toolbar at the bottom of the window, select Connect with audio only.

From the toolbar at the bottom of the window, select Disable my camera or Enable my camera.

From the toolbar at the bottom of the window, select Go full screen or Exit full screen.

The video of yourself that is being sent to other participants is shown in a thumbnail at the top right of the screen. To hide this, select the Hide self view icon at the top right of the image. It will be replaced by a small Show self view icon; select this to view your image again.

When using Internet Explorer, self view is not available when viewing a presentation in the main window.

When using Infinity Connect, a list of all other conference participants will be shown to the left of or at the bottom of the screen. You can scroll through this list, or use the search box at the top of the list, to view other participants.

You can show and hide this participant list by clicking on the Hide side bar < and Show side bar > icons at the bottom right of the list.

(Available when chat has been enabled by the administrator)

At the bottom of the screen there is a Chat room area or tab, which shows the messages sent by participants in the conference. To send a message, type it in the text box. Messages are visible to everyone else in the conference with a chat-capable client (such as Lync / Skype for Business or Infinity Connect).

You can also share videos and images by pasting their URL into the text box.

To hide or show the side panel (containing the list of participants and the chat room), select the arrows at the bottom left of the screen.

To hide the chat room within the side panel so that only the roster is shown, or to expand it so that only the chat room is shown, select the arrows to the right of the chat room title bar.

(Requires Host privileges)

From the top left of the screen, select the menu icon and then select Lock conference or Unlock conference.

The impact of locking depends on whether or not the Virtual Meeting Room or Virtual Auditorium being used has a Host PIN. For more information, see Locking a conference and allowing participants to join a locked conference.

(Requires Host privileges)

Participants who are waiting to join a locked conference are indicated in the roster by a red "waiting" icon . To allow these participants to join the conference, click on the green telephone icon next to their name.

(Requires Host privileges)

Normally, Guests can join a conference only after first Host has joined. However, this does not apply if the Host joins as control-only.

If you have joined a conference as a control-only Host and want Guests to join, from the top left of the screen, select the menu icon and then select Start conference.

(Requires Host privileges)

1. Select the menu icon and then select Add a new participant.
2. At the prompt, enter the address of the person you want to dial.

3. If you want to use a protocol other than SIP (the default) select either Automatic, H.323, Lync/Skype or RTMP.

   Automatic means that the protocol will be selected according to how your administrator or service provider has configured the system.

   RTMP is typically used when connecting to a streaming or recording service.

   To support the use of Automatic you must configure some appropriate Call Routing Rules that apply to Outgoing calls from a conference. If required, you can then also change the default protocol presented to users of the Infinity Connect Web App and desktop clients by configuring the defaultDialOutProtocol setting in the settings.js file (see Advanced Infinity Connect Web App customization and Customizing the Infinity Connect desktop client for more information).

4. Select whether you want the participant to have Host or Guest privileges.
5. Select OK.

A call will be placed from the Virtual Meeting Room or Virtual Auditorium to the participant and they will appear in the participant list with the "calling" icon next to their avatar while their endpoint is ringing. If and when the participant answers the call they will join the conference; if they do not answer, or do not accept the call, they will disappear from the participant list.

(Requires Host privileges)

From the participant list, to the right of the participant's name select Mute participant or Unmute participant.

(Requires Host privileges)

From the top left of the screen, select the menu icon and then select Mute all guests.

(Requires Host privileges; you must be joined over audio, or video and audio)

From the participant list, select the participant to whom you want to send DTMF tones, and then next to Keypad select Open.

This feature is generally used to communicate with external systems (such as audio bridges, automated switchboards, and recording devices) after they have been added to the conference.

(Requires Host privileges; you cannot change your own role to Guest.)

From the participant list, select the participant's name, and then use the radio buttons to select whether their role will be Host or Guest.

Participants who have joined via a Lync / Skype for Business meeting will have a role of External; their status cannot be changed.

(Requires Host privileges)

When a participant is sharing a presentation, other participants receive both the presentation and the main video. However, you may want to receive just the main video on a particular endpoint (for example, if you are using a meeting room system and you are already viewing the presentation on your mobile device).

To do this, from the participant list, select the participant's name and then uncheck View presentation on endpoint.

(Requires Host privileges)

From the participant list, select the participant's name and then next to Transfer participant select Open.

Enter the alias of the conference you wish to transfer the participant to, whether they should join as a Host or Guest, and the PIN if applicable, then select OK.

You can transfer any participant, including yourself.

(Requires Host privileges)

From the participant list, select the participant's name and then select Disconnect.

(Requires Host privileges)

From the top left of the screen, select the menu icon and then select Disconnect all participants.

From the toolbar at the bottom of the screen, select Disconnect.
