Controlling What You Hear
Adjusting Volume
During a call, you use the remote control to raise or lower the volume of the
sound you hear. Changing the volume affects only the sound you hear at your
site.
To adjust the volume:
>> Press Volume on the remote control.
Muting the Microphone
You can mute the microphone if you do not want the far site to hear what you
say. For example, you might mute the microphone if you want to speak to
someone privately.
To mute or unmute the microphone:
>> Press Mute on the remote control.
Receiving Content
Some video conferencing systems, such as the Polycom VSX
7000 system,
can send content during a video call. The content could be, for example, a file
stored on a PC or a paper document or object placed on a document camera.
If you are in a video call with a V500 system and the far site sends content,
the content automatically appears on your screen. The content remains on the
screen until the far-site system stops sending it.
If you are displaying the PIP when content is sent, you see the content in the
main part of the screen and, in the PIP, you see the people at the far site.
