Teams Room Information

NOTE: If you are at Lakewood HQ and using the equipment in the Executive Board Room or Hickory conference room, please see these steps: https://fmhc.freshdesk.com/a/solutions/articles/47001207079

In most conference rooms at FMHC and all affiliate banks, there is a Poly TC8 device on the conference table that will allow you to join a Teams meeting and connect to the TV screen.

To connect the room to a meeting:

- New meeting: Send a new meeting invitation from Microsoft Outlook.  Be sure to include "Teams Rm. - (name)" as an invitee, along with your other guests and yourself, in the Required field.  By adding yourself, you will be able to share your laptop screen in the Teams meeting and on the TV in the conference room.

- Existing meeting: Open the meeting invitation in Microsoft Outlook and add "Teams Rm. - (name)" as an invitee in the Required field.

Once you send the invite, it may take a few minutes for your meeting to appear on the Poly device on the conference table.

When it is time for your meeting, connect your computer to the network via an ethernet cable in the conference room, or simply connect to the FMHC_Corp WiFi.

On the Poly device on the conference table, click the Meeting card to Join the meeting.

On your laptop, join the meeting in Teams and in the "Choose your video and audio options" screen, select "Room audio."

At this point, you will be able to share your screen in Teams on your laptop.  This will allow all virtual participants to see your screen, as well as in-person participants in the conference room looking at the TV screen.
