"Content sharing and collaboration is very significant when it comes to team meetings whether internally or externally thanks to how it enables teams to share ideas, brainstorm together, and make better decisions."
In today's modern work spaces, huddle and meeting rooms are equipped with displays, or projectors for content sharing during internal meetings. Conference room systems are also added to those rooms to connect them to the external world. For organizations that are using Microsoft Lync as their Unified Communications, and Collaboration platform, there is a great opportunity to extend the great Microsoft Lync video conferencing and content sharing features to those work spaces with the right Lync Room System solution.
At Vytru, we take content sharing into deep consideration when building our Microsoft Lync Video Conferencing solutions. For us, it has no less significance than video communication in the conference room. We always work hard to make our Lync video endpoints easy to use for end users. You should be able to share content easily, the very first moment you enter the meeting room and interact with our system.
Easiness of use is not the only factor we have considered, but also giving the end user multiple sources and options to start a content sharing session.

On the RVC, Room Video Conferencing system for Microsoft Lync which Vytru's flagship Lync Room System, we have innovated in content sharing capabilities of the system both while you are in meeting room having an internal meeting with your team, or when you are on a Lync conference call with external participants.
So How is Content Sharing Handled with Vytru's RVC?
There are three ways to share content on the RVC system. You can share content for an HDMI input, a USB Flash Drive, or wireless from your own device (laptop, tablet, or smartphone) using AirSharing technology.
Wireless Content Sharing for Microsoft Lync with RVC
On the RVC system, you can share content from any laptop, tablet, or smartphone directly to the Vytru's Room Video Conference system leveraging our Wireless Content Sharing technology, AirSharing. All you need to do is walk into the meeting room with your own device, and without having to download or install any application, connect to RVC system via MiraCast or AirPlay. Then, the RVC system mirrors your device to the system and enables you to share it with in-room attendees for internal meeting, or with remote meeting participants for Microsoft Lync audio or video conference calls. With RVC, you get this amazing BYOD Wireless Sharing experience with no need for an external wireless presentation system, media server, or additional licenses.
Sharing Content from a USB Flash Drive
You do not have to carry your laptop to the meeting room every time you have a presentation or have something to share with your team or in a Lync conference call. With RVC, you can put the content you want to share on a USB Flash Drive, then plug it into the RVC Codec. Launch "Apps" from the Start Screen, then "Browse" and you will be able to browse the folders and files on your USB Flash drive. Select the file you want to share, and tap or click the file icon to start content sharing. Only Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and PDF files are currently supported.
Sharing Content from an HDMI Input
This is the traditional way to share content in the meeting room, and it is also supported by the RVC system. You will need to extend the HDMI input cable to the middle of conference room table so that it is accessible by every one. End users will connect their laptop to the HDMI cable and then their screen will be mirrored on the RVC system.
