Connecting Computers to Polycom RealPresence
Group Systems
You can connect a computer directly to a Polycom RealPresence Group system. When you do this, other
call participants can see everything that you see on your computer.
When you connect to video and audio from your computer, the audio is muted unless the computer is
selected as a video source.
For more information about connecting computers as content video sources for Polycom RealPresence
Group systems, refer to
for connection details.

Configuring Content Sharing

To configure the content display:
1 In the web interface, go to Admin Settings > Audio/Video > Video Inputs and select the input you
want to configure for Content.
2 For the Display as setting, select Content for the input that will display content.
For the RealPresence Group 550 systems, you can only set Input 3 for Content.
When you connect a content-sharing device such as a laptop to the input, the content starts displaying. If
the content-sharing device is already connected, you must manually show the content from the local
interface. For more information about showing content, refer to the User's Guide for the Polycom
RealPresence Group Series.
As long as the default values for other settings in the system have not changed, you are ready to share
content on your RealPresence Group system. However, if you disabled the H.239 protocol for some reason,
you must enable the program for content sharing by following these steps:
3 In the web interface, go to Admin Settings > Network > Dialing Preference.
4 Enable H.239.
