Start Your Web Conference
Before your meeting, install the Solstice app on your laptop device then go to the Conference tab and install the lightweight drivers (required). Next, go to the app settings and link your calendar (optional).
To launch your conference and connect your laptop to the room, click the Solstice icon in your system tray and enter the room display’s screen key or URL. If the conference doesn’t launch, start your meeting using the web conferencing app.
Next, select the room audio/video devices and share ‘Screen 2’ so remote participants can see the room display.
Share Content and Collaborate In-Room
To collaborate with others in the room, just open the Solstice app, find the room display’s name, and click to connect.
- Use the Share panel to share content to the display
- Use the Layout panel to arrange and control content
- Use Solstice Ink (mobile-only) to highlight and mark up content
