    Article summary

    Designed for hybrid collaboration, Room Solutions with Dialpad Meeting Rooms integrates with Poly X30 and X50 devices, instantly turning any room into a Meeting Room. Create an effortless Meeting experience by allowing guest speakers to share their screens without wasting time on room device configuration.

    Users can walk into a Dialpad Meetings For Rooms equipped conference room and seamlessly shift their meeting from a laptop, or mobile, to the big screen (ie your room TV) with just one simple click. Screen sharing on the conference room TV allows for either:

    • local sharing: Sharing with other people in the same physical conference room without initiating a Dialpad Meetings session
    • In-meeting sharing: Sharing with people physically in the same conference room, and to remote users & rooms via an active Dialpad Meetings conference 

    Let's dive into the details. 

    Who Can Use This Feature
    Everyone! There is no requirement for a Dialpad Meeting license to share the content of the laptop wirelessly.

    Share your Screen without a Meeting

    Any User, ideally connected to the same network as the room device, can share their screen without creating a Dialpad Meeting. This is particularly beneficial when sharing information with friends and colleagues who are with you in the room. 

    1. Note the access code listed on the room's TV
