You can configure the system to allow users to stream audio and video from 

one to many viewers. Viewers watch the conference (people video only) from 

their computers, as the meeting is taking place. You can start streaming before 

or during a call.

Go to System > Admin Settings > Network > IP > Streaming.

Configure these settings:

Points to note about streaming:
•

If a password is set on the system, streaming participants must enter it before 
receiving the stream.

Participants must have the Apple QuickTime player

 

installed on their computer 

to view the stream.

To send a stream across a subnet, multicasting must be enabled on the network 
or you must unicast to a particular IP address, which will forward the stream to 
that IP address regardless of the location destination.

The number of viewers is limited only by your network topology.

For security reasons, you cannot start streaming from VSX Web.

Streaming provides video at a reduced frame rate.

When the system that is streaming a multipoint call is also hosting the 
conference, the stream displays the current speaker, no matter how Multipoint 
Mode is configured. When the system that is streaming a multipoint call is not 
hosting the conference, the stream displays the view from the streaming 
system. 

Specifies whether users can start streaming from the system 
by making the Start Streaming option available on the 
Utilities screen.

Specifies whether the names of users logged on to the 
streaming system are displayed on screen.

Specifies the speed used for the streaming call.

Specifies the number of routers the data can traverse before 
it is no longer passed on. For example, when set to 1, the 
data stays within a subnet.
