Calling another user directly
Calling a user directly begins a meeting in which only the caller and recipient can participate. Unlike
joining a meeting room, no other participants can join this meeting.
1. Search for the user or room, or locate them in the My Contact list.
2. Select Call Direct.
The Visual Collaboration Desktop opens, and the user receives a pop-up invitation.
Starting a meeting with a legacy system
If you are unable to find a legacy system on the portal Home page, you can call it directly.
To connect to a legacy system, you must know the system’s extension or IP address. Contact your
system administrator for this information.
1. Enter the extension or IP address on the portal Home page.
2. Select Call Direct.
The Visual Collaboration Desktop opens, and the legacy system receives an invitation. The user
selects Answer to connect to the meeting.
Signing out
Sign out from the Management Portal to close the interface. You will still be connected to the Visual
Collaboration system and be able to receive incoming calls.
1. From the Management Portal, select Log out.
2. Select OK.
Closing the client
You can exit the Visual Collaboration Desktop to avoid receiving incoming calls.
1. Right-click (Control + click for Macintosh) the Desktop icon in the taskbar or dock.
2. Select Quit.
