All systems can participate in multipoint calls. To host multipoint calls, your RealPresence Group 500, or 700
system must have a multipoint video option key installed. You can host multipoint calls using a video
conferencing system with multipoint capabilities, or you can use a bridge, such as the RealPresence
Collaboration Server 800s.

How you place a multipoint call depends on whether you're using a RealPresence Group system or bridge
