About StarLeaf room systems

StarLeaf provides a number of different telepresence systems for meeting rooms. There are two Group Telepresence codecs:

Group Telepresence 3351

Group Telepresence 3330

(GT Mini)

Introducing the touchscreen controller

Every room system comes with a touchscreen controller: the StarLeaf Touch 2035. You use the touchscreen controller as the means for making and controlling video calls with the room system. Through the touchscreen controller, you can access the directory and contacts. You can use the touchscreen controller to create ad hoc conferences, and to add and remove participants.

The StarLeaf Touch 2035

The figure below shows the features on the front of the StarLeaf Touch 2035.

Table 1: Front panel features and controls

Group Telepresence, 27 September 2017 Page 4 of 38

Out-of-hours power saving for touchscreen controllers

The backlight on a touchscreen controller dims between the hours of 7pm and 7am in the endpoint's local timezone. When a touchscreen controller is dimmed, it shows a screen saver displaying the time. Touching the dimmed screen causes the backlight to light again. A touchscreen does not dim for one hour after the last time it was touched.

Power saving is automatically enabled for all touchscreen controllers. There is no configuration.

Audio connections

For more information about audio, refer to:

n Connecting a laptop (p16) n Using the Conference Phone 2220 (p36)

Group Telepresence, 27 September 2017 Page 5 of 38

The home screen

This is the home screen of the touchscreen controller:

To display the home screen of the touchscreen controller from any other of its other screens, press the Home button. In the picture above, this system is assigned to the London meeting room and its extension is 1138.

To access the settings, double-press the Home button.

Forwarding calls and Do not disturb

To forward calls either to voice mail or to another phone number, use the Call acceptance slider.

Note: By default, StarLeaf Cloud meeting room systems do not have voice and video mail

enabled.

To set the status of the Group Telepresence system to 'do not disturb' move the Call acceptance slider to do not disturb. If other users have the meeting room set as a favorite, they can see that the room is busy because the meeting room name is displayed on their home screen with a 'busy' icon.

If the Group Telepresence system does not have voicemail, then setting the touchscreen controller to do not disturb causes a 'busy' tone for anyone attempting to call this system. If voicemail is enabled for this meeting room system, the call will be immediately diverted to the mailbox.

To forward calls to another phone number, move the Call acceptance slider to forward

calls. Choosing to forward calls means that anyone who has this system as a favorite can

see that you have forwarded the calls. When you choose to forward calls, you see the following controls:

Group Telepresence, 27 September 2017 Page 6 of 38

The home screen

Note: Connection from your StarLeaf endpoints to the public telephone network is an optional extra. For more information, contact your StarLeaf representative.

Camera control for the PTZ camera

The Camera Control tab on the home screen provides you with controls for the PTZ camera. (You will not see these controls if you are using a GT Mini with a USB camera.)

Camera control on the Group Telepresence 3351:

Camera control on the GT Mini 3330:

The near-end camera control allows you to pan, tilt, and zoom your camera. This control is available both in a call and before you make a call. If the far end is using a PTZ camera, you might be able to control it yourself using the far-end camera (their camera) control.

Camera presets are pre-defined camera positions. For example, a pre-defined position that points the camera at the whiteboard, or that changes the camera to a wide-angled view. Select the position you require from the touchscreen controller.

If you have more than one camera attached to the Group Telepresence 3351, the active camera selector allows you to select which camera you want to use.

Group Telepresence, 27 September 2017 Page 7 of 38

Making a call

You can make a call in a few different ways:

You can dial a number: Simply dial the number

You can call one of your favorites: Press the speed dial for the favorite that you want to call

You can return a call: Go to home screen > recents and select the call you want to return

You can call someone in the company's directory: Go to home screen > contacts >

company directory and choose someone to call

You can call someone from your own personal contact list: Go to home screen >

contacts > personal contacts

You can dial a video address that might be a series of letters, numbers or symbols

Dialing a number

You can simply dial a number as you would with any phone.

When you start to dial a number, your screen looks something like this:

Note: You might have been given a prefix to use when you want to dial out onto the public telephone network. For example, in some companies you are told to "dial 9 for an outside line". Connection from your StarLeaf endpoints to the public telephone network is an optional extra. For more information, contact your StarLeaf representative.

Dialing a favorite

Favorites are the contacts that you call most often. You decide who your favorites are by creating a favorite from the company directory (or from your personal contacts). Favorites appear on your home screen as speed dials. For more information on calling favorites, refer to Contacts (p18).

Redialing a recent call

To redial a call that you received recently:

Select recent calls. The screen displays the recent calls' list.

2. Select the name of the person whom you want to call.

Group Telepresence, 27 September 2017 Page 8 of 38

Making a call

Searching in the company directory

Some companies have a lot of entries in the directory. In this case, you might find it easier to use the search facility. To do so:

Go to home screen > contacts > company directory and select search.

2. Use the keyboard to type the name of the person you want to find.

Note: As soon as you start typing, the search starts looking. You might only need to type the first letter of someone's name to find them.

The search keyboard looks like this:

Dialing addresses that include letters or symbols

You might need to dial someone who has a video address that includes letters or numbers and symbols. This might be known as a URI or it might be an IPaddress. If you need to do this, press * on the keypad (press the star key). Your display looks like this:

Note: If you are dialing an IP address, you can do so by using the keypad of the touchscreen controller. Press the star (asterisk) key where you would normally put a dot, and press the hash (pound) key to cause the system to dial the IP address you have entered.

Who can you call?

You can call:

Group Telepresence, 27 September 2017 Page 9 of 38

Making a call

n anyone in your company who has a StarLeaf endpoint (either the Breeze software or a

hardware endpoint). These people are all in your contacts

n anyone outside your company who has a StarLeaf endpoint; just dial their email address

from your StarLeaf hardware video endpoint or from Breeze

n anyone else. If someone has not got a StarLeaf endpoint, you can still have a video call

with them. There are two ways of doing this:

l Send them an invite and they can click a link to video call you from their web

browser or they can install Breeze (the StarLeaf software endpoint)

l If they already have video conferencing equipment, they can call you using that (or

you can call them if you know their video address or URI)

Group Telepresence, 27 September 2017 Page 10 of 38

Using in-call features

When you are in an audio call

When you are in an audio call, you can see in-call options:

create conference: you can add other people into your call

hold call: put the other person on hold

transfer call: transfer the call to another person

When you are in an audio call, the display looks something like this:

When you are in a video call

If you are in a video call, you see some or all of the following in-call options on the display, in addition to the options listed above for audio-only calls:

share my PC screen: you can share your screen with other person (or people) in your video call.

Display tab: provides you with options for the screen layout. Note that this tab also provides a button to switch self view on and off

FECC tab: if you are in a video call and the device at the other end of the call allows it, you can control that device's camera (for zooming and panning). FECC means Far End Camera Control

When you are in a video call, your in-call options panel looks something like this:

Group Telepresence, 27 September 2017 Page 11 of 38

Using in-call features

Changing what you see in a video call

Note: For information about multiparty conference controls and layouts, refer to About

conferencing (p23).

Press the Display tab to change what you can see in a video call. The Display tab looks like this:

The Display tab gives you these options:

video: select to view the other people in your video call. This is the default setting for a video call until someone shares a PC screen and then you see the shared PC screen, in which case, you may prefer to press this button to return to the video view

my PC: press to view your own PC's display (if you have attached your computer to the codec). Remember that other people in the video call may still be able to see you

no shared PC/shared PC: If someone is sharing content from their PC, you can press to view that shared content

self-view: use the self-view slider to either see yourself or not. Self view allows you to see the view of you that other people see when you are in a video call. Switching it off does not prevent them from seeing you. To prevent people from seeing you in a video call, press the Video mute button on the touchscreen controller

PiP: The PiP is the Picture-in-Picture view. For example, if you have self-view on, you see yourself in a PiP view. Use the PiP control on the Display tab to move the PiP around the screen. Note that if you are in a call where there is shared content (or you have pressed my PC) then the PiP control allows you to remove the PiP view; to do so, use the cross in the corner of the PiP control to close the PiP view. If you have closed the PiP view, you can make it reappear by pressing the plus sign on the PiP control

Note: On a GT Mini or a Group Telepresence 3351, with two screens attached, the screen layout behaves differently. For more information, refer to Layouts for dual screen room

systems (p14) below.

Group Telepresence, 27 September 2017 Page 12 of 38

Using in-call features

Depending on the other device in the video call, you might be able to remotely operate the pan and zoom on the camera at the other end of the call. When you can remotely control the camera at the other end of the call, this is called FECC (Far End Camera Control). You can only use FECC in a point-to-point call (that is, FECC is not available in a conference call).

If FECCis allowed, you access it on the camera control tab.

The FECC control allows you to pan and zoom the camera at the far end of the call.

Changing what they see in a video call

Camera presets

Room systems can have up to five camera presets that allow you to adjust the camera focus of your video. For example, you can set a camera to point towards one part of the room and zoom in, when selected. To select a camera preset, open the Camera Control tab and press the star button for the camera preset that you want. The video adjusts automatically to the preset configuration. You can swap between presets at any time.

Group Telepresence, 27 September 2017 Page 13 of 38

Using in-call features

The camera presets must be predefined in the Portal. For more information on setting camera presets, refer to the topic About the camera for the GT 3351 or About the

camera for the GT Mini 3330.

Active cameras

Note: The use of multiple cameras is limited to the GT 3351 only.

You can have up to three cameras connected to the GT 3351 but only one camera can be active at a time. These three cameras can utilize the camera presets described above to determine not only which camera is in use, but also what the cameras focus on in the meeting room.

When multiple cameras are connected to the codec, the active camera is selected in the Camera Control tab on the touchscreen controller.

Selecting any of the other cameras in the Camera Control tab makes the one you've selected the active camera and, if done while in a call, the video immediately switches to that camera and the configured preset view.

For more information on configuring camera presets with multiple cameras, refer to the topic About the camera.

Layouts for dual screen room systems

Room systems with two screens attached (screen A and screen B), show full-screen self view under the following circumstances:

n in a call, with self view enabled, and no computer connected, screen B shows self view n off hook, but not in a call, and no computer connected, screen B shows self view n off hook, but not in a call, with a computer connected, screen A shows self view

The table below shows what is displayed and when in a dual-screen room system.

Connecting a laptop

When you are in a video call you can show your laptop's display, for example if you want to share what you are working on. To do so, your laptop must be connected to the Group Telepresence system. Usually, your IT administrator will have left a cable in the meeting room to which you can connect your laptop. If this is not the case, you need to consult your IT administrator, or refer to the Group Telepresence Installation Guide, which is available from the Knowledge Center. The Group Telepresence system includes a number of adapters to suit different PC video outputs (HDMI, VGA, DVI-D).

Sharing the display

To share your laptop's display:

1. Ensure you have connected your laptop to the Group Telepresence codec using the supplied cable.

2. Make a video call.

On the touchscreen controller, press share my PC screen:

The display appears in one screen (connected to Video Out HDMI port 1 on the rear of the codec), and the view of the conference appears in the other screen. If there is only one telepresence screen, the display is the main view and the video shows in a picture-in-picture view. You can change what you see in a video call using the controls on the touchscreen controller (refer to Using in-call features (p11)).

Note: If you only have one screen, the main view is the PC display and the view of the other participants is in PiP view in the corner of the screen

4. To change the view you see, use the display tab on the touchscreen controller:

The display tab is described in greater detail in Using in-call features (p11).

Connecting a laptop

Sharing the audio

If you are using the GT Mini or the Group Telepresence 3351, you can also share the audio from your laptop. To do so, connect the audio-out from your laptop to the audio-in 3.5 mm connector on the rear of the room system. For further information about this, refer to the Group Telepresence installation information, which is available from the Knowledge Center.

About conferencing

There are three types of meeting:

ad hoc meetings: ad hoc meetings start immediately. You create an ad hoc meeting when you are in a call; simply press create conference on your control panel:

You can then add another person to your call. You can have up to 20 participants in an ad hoc meeting. Ad hoc meetings are also known as QuickMeet meetings

scheduled meetings: a scheduled meeting begins at a particular time. Participants receive invites and instructions on how to join. Participants can join a scheduled meeting in the following ways:

l click a link to join from a browser l download Breeze or the Starleaf app and click to join l join using a StarLeaf room or desktop system l join using third-party video conferencing equipment l join as an audio-only participant from a telephone (PSTN)

permanent meetings: This is the same as a scheduled meeting but without a date and time. A permanent meeting is a virtual meeting room that anyone can dial into at any time (sometimes known as a meet-me). Permanent meetings have the same features as scheduled meetings (invites, interoperability, PSTN dial-in, etc.). The dialing details never change and the meeting is always joinable

Group Telepresence, 27 September 2017 Page 23 of 38

Joining a meeting on the room system

You can join ad hoc, scheduled, and permanent meetings from the room system.

Joining a scheduled StarLeaf conference

If you receive an invitation to a meeting, the details are shown on the Join Now button on the day of the meeting. The behavior of the Join Now button is as follows:

If there are no scheduled meetings for the day, the Join Now button displays no conferences scheduled today

n If there is a scheduled meeting for the day, the Join Now button displays the name of

the next meeting and the time it starts

n If you receive invitations to two overlapping meetings, the details of the first

conference due to start display on the Join Now button. When the first meeting has ended, the details of the second meeting display. To join the second meeting at any time, dial the meeting ID which is in the meeting invite email

n When the meeting is due to take place in ten minutes or less, the Join Now button is lit

green and, instead of the time, displays how many minutes until the meeting is due to start

n When the meeting starts, the Join Now button flashes. Anytime after the Join Now

button lights green, you can use the button to join the conference

If a scheduled meeting is canceled, the meeting details are removed from the Join Now button.

Note: Permanent meetings do not trigger the Join Now button, and do not appear on the button display.

Join Now behavior

The default message when there are no meetings scheduled.

The message displayed when a meeting has been scheduled for that day.

The message displayed when a scheduled meeting is due to start.

The message displayed when a scheduled meeting has started.

Whenever you are ready to join a scheduled or permanent meeting, either:

n Use the Join Now button when the button is lit green, or n Dial into the meeting using the meeting ID, which is in the meeting invite email

Group Telepresence, 27 September 2017 Page 24 of 38

Joining a meeting on the room system

Note: To join a permanent meeting, dial the meeting ID.

Joining a conference on any other conferencing service

You can join conferences on any other standards-based conferencing platform, such as Bluejeans for example. To do so, use the information in the conference invite. You can dial any combination of characters and digits using the touchscreen controller (press star to access a full keyboard).

Joining an ad hoc conference

When someone adds a person to a call, this is known as an ad hoc meeting. If someone adds you to their call, you receive a incoming call. To accept the call, select answer call to speak to the person who wants to add you to their call.

If you do not want to join the meeting, ignore or reject the call.

Group Telepresence, 27 September 2017 Page 25 of 38

How to schedule a meeting

When you schedule a meeting, you will log in to the StarLeaf Portal. There, you can choose when your meeting takes place and who attends. Your attendees receive email invites to your meeting.

To schedule a meeting:

1. Either:

l go to portal.starleaf.com and log in (using your email address and the password

you created when you activated your StarLeaf account) OR

if you are a Breeze user, choose my conferences on your Breeze display. This takes you into the StarLeaf Portal OR

if you are a StarLeaf app user, choose add meeting in the app. This takes you into the StarLeaf Portal

Go to Meetings > Schedule meeting. You can see the Schedule meetingpage:

Add the details you require for Title and Description. These are included in the meeting invites.

If your organization has purchased the recording solution, select Record meetingto record this meeting.

5. Set the time and date for your meeting .

l Select a start and end time and date for your meeting l Set a repeat if this meeting happens on a regular basis

If this is a permanent meeting, select Permanent. The meeting never ends. It is a virtual meeting, that anyone can dial into at any time

Add Participants by email address. Separate email addresses with commas. You can include anyone's email address. If participants do not already have StarLeaf, the 'invite' email describes how to sign up as a guest or join using a browser. The invite also describes how to join your conference from any other standards-based video conferencing equipment and includes PSTN (telephone) numbers for audio-only participants.

If there are Room systems in your organization, you can add one or more. This means that your participants know which meeting rooms are in the meeting if they want to walk along to the nearest one.

Advanced settings:

Keep people on hold until: Use this setting to determine whether people are able

to talk to each other before you join the meeting

Time zone: If you are in a different time zone to the one displayed here, correct it.

This ensures that everyone to whom you send an invite knows the correct time for your meeting

About guest invites

Guest invites allow StarLeaf users to invite guests to video call them using either their browser or by installing Breeze (the StarLeaf software endpoint). In this way, a StarLeaf user can have a video call with anyone.

Guest invites are included in the StarLeaf Cloud service at no extra cost for StarLeaf users. StarLeaf does not limit users on the number of guest invitations.

To send a guest invite, a user simply chooses Invite from the home screen of a StarLeaf endpoint. Alternatively, you can add a guest email address to the list of participants when creating a scheduled meeting.

If an invite is sent to a person who appears (by email address domain) to be associated with one of your customers, you are notified. In this case, the guest is automatically added to that customer's organization. Note that this auto-adding feature can be disabled if required.

If an invite is sent to a person who appears (by email address domain) to be associated with your organization, you are notified. In this case, the guest is added automatically to your organization. Note that this auto-adding feature can be disabled if required.

In the case of a guest that subsequently wants to have a full StarLeaf account, you need to contact StarLeaf support to have the original guest account deleted. (User email addresses must be unique in the StarLeaf Cloud.)

Invite process

A user, in this case Anne Duffy, chooses to send an invite by selecting Invite on her StarLeaf Breeze:

Anne then types the email of the person she wants to invite and selects invite.

3. The invited person receives an email that explains the invite. The invite includes:

l a 'click-to-call' link, which launches a video call from the browser l a link to dialing instructions for calling into the StarLeaf Cloud

For more information refer to Dialing from third-party endpoints, below.

Dialing from third-party endpoints

The guest invite also provides a link to detailed instructions for how to dial the inviter from a third-party endpoint. This means that the guest has a choice: call from a browser, download Breeze, or use existing video-conferencing equipment to call the inviter. The instructions cover a range of third-party manufacturers, for example, Cisco, Tandberg, Polycom, Lifesize, Sony, Radvision, Avaya, Skype for Business. The picture below shows an example of the instructions, for dialing this specific user:
