Introducing Cisco Room Bar BYOD

Room Bar BYOD provides a great video and audio experience in meetings with a high-quality camera, speakers and microphones that include AI-noise removal. When not in use you can add customized branding on your screen.

Make a Call

Connect your computer to the Room Bar BYOD with the USB-C cable. The Room Bar BYOD supports HD1080p video. From your computer, open your calling client settings. In the video and audio parameters, make sure to select the Room Bar HD Camera.

When placing calls using a third-party client, the camera, microphone, and loudspeakers are selected based on the OS or app defaults. You can override these settings.

The camera light indicator is lit whenever the camera is active in order to maintain privacy.

The third-party client controls all other functionality.

Wireless Guest Share

You can use Guest share to wirelessly share from your computer to a Cisco Room Bar BYOD.

Guest share from share.webex.com allows you to share content wirelessly to any Webex registered Cisco device. You don’t need to download the Webex App or sign-up to a Webex account, so it's a great way to collaborate with your colleagues.

As you use Guest share, note the following:

  • You can’t start a share when someone else is sharing.
  • Audio plays through your laptop but not through the display screen.
  • 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 when sharing video.
  • Guest share works on the latest versions of Firefox and Chrome on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.
  • Closing the browser or the tab where share.webex.com is open stops the share.
  • With RoomOS 11, you need to set up the following configuration by accessing the web interface of the device. Read the Advanced Settings article for more information on how to access it.

First, select Settings from the menu on the left. Under Configurations, choose the following:

Proximity > Services > ContentShare > FromClients: Enabled. This allows for the 9-digits code to be enabled on the device.

  1. You can find the guest share code on the home screen.

  2. Go to devices.webex.com and enter the 9-digit guest share code and click Next. Then enter the 4-digit share PIN and click Connect.

    The share PIN appears on your device's screen.

  3. Click Share Screen and select if you want to share the entire screen, an application, or a Chrome tab.
    If you're going to share video content, select Optimize for Video for a higher frame-rate and lower resolution. This gives a more fluid video sharing experience.
  4. To stop sharing, click Stop Sharing from your browser.
