Cisco Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (TMS) Version 15
Cisco TelePresence Meeting Experience
Cisco TMS is used to configure and manage the Cisco WebEx bridging feature in Cisco TelePresence
meetings. During the meeting, telepresence participants see live video of all other telepresence participants,
and the video of the most recently active WebEx participant. WebEx participants see the video of all other
WebEx participants, and the video of the most recently active telepresence participant.
The Cisco WebEx bridging feature integrates the Cisco WebEx conferencing server with multipoint meetings
on the Cisco TelePresence MCU Series or Cisco TelePresence Server. Cisco Telepresence callers connect
to meetings using One-Button-to-Push (OBTP) or Automatic Connect technology. The MCU/TelePresence
Server connects at the meeting start time, automatically connects with the Cisco WebEx conference and
joins the two meetings. Upon connecting with Cisco WebEx, the Cisco Telepresence presentation screen
shows a Welcome page.
For presentation sharing, the telepresence user connects the video display cable to their computer and (if
required) presses a button to start sharing their presentation to telepresence and WebEx participants. Video
of the active telepresence speaker is streamed to the Cisco WebEx Web client. Video and presentation from
WebEx is visible to telepresence participants.
Cisco WebEx Meeting Experience
Remote participants join the Cisco WebEx meeting by logging in to the Cisco WebEx Meeting Center Web
and/or mobile applications
*
. Content shared by a Cisco TelePresence participant is displayed automatically
in the Meeting Center application, and WebEx participants can share their desktop or application with
Cisco TelePresence participants. By default, WebEx participants see the live video of the actively speaking
Cisco TelePresence or WebEx participant.
WebEx participants also see an integrated list of all WebEx meeting participants. The WebEx annotation
feature is supported. WebEx participants can annotate using the standard Meeting Center application
annotations tools and both WebEx and TelePresence participants can see the annotations. The annotation
tools are not available, however, for TelePresence participants.
When the first WebEx participant joins, "TelePresence systems" appears in the list of WebEx participants
) and in the row of WebEx participants in Full Screen view (
). This indicates that it is a Cisco CMR Hybrid meeting. Individual
TelePresence users are not listed in the WebEx participants list. Instead, only "TelePresence systems" is
listed and is displayed in the active speaker window when a TelePresence participant is the active speaker.
For WebEx participants to share their presentation with TelePresence participants, they must do the
