Share information and the Webex Room Phone
You can use your phone to share information between your computer and an HDMI display screen. This article explains each of the share options.
Share makes it easy for you to share information with your colleagues. It depends upon how your phone is set up, but you can share from your computer to a Webex meeting, an HDMI screen, or both.
You have two ways to share content:
-
Wireless sharing—Allows you to share content without cables. You collaborate with your coworkers using either Webex or with Guest share. This feature is only available if your administrator configures it.
-
Cable sharing—Allows you to share content with the included HDMI cables.
If you accept a call, then Share stops.
You can connect your device to the Webex App with Proximity pairing. This gives you the proximity enabled features on the Webex meeting and teams app.
This feature is only available if your administrator configures it.
For more information, see "Webex App Automatically Connects with Room and Desk Devices" ( https://help.webex.com/en-us/nliifbo/Webex-Teams-App-Automatically-Connects-with-Room-and-Desk-Devices) or "Use the Webex Meetings Desktop App" ( https://help.webex.com/en-us/nqx2ohdb/Use-the-Cisco-Webex-Meetings-Desktop-App).
Guest share allows you to share content wirelessly from your phone without a Webex App account.
As you use Guest share, note the following items:
-
Sharing works when the device is idle. When the device is in a call or someone else is sharing, you can’t start a share.
-
Audio plays through the laptop but not through the phone speakers.
-
Video streams at 1080p at 10 frames per second or 720p at 30 frames per second. Select Optimize for motion and video to ensure the best possible experience.
-
Guest share works on the latest versions of Firefox and Chrome on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.
This feature is only available if your administrator configures it.
