Video Conference  

The video conference feature is unique because it is a multi-point video conference feature where all video feeds are routed through the conferencing server (client/server design and not peer-to-peer). Any user in a conference with a USB compatible video camera can use this feature. For best performance USB 2.0 compatible cameras connected to a USB 2.0 Port are recommended.


The video conferencing feature offers many options to control the quality of the video presentation. A summary of all the options is listed in the tables below.
