Dual Display on Poly Studio X Series Makes Video Meetings More Productive
What’s changing
We are excited to announce dual display support for Google Meet on the Poly Studio X Series to help make video meetings more productive. With dual displays, you can see more meeting participants, presentations, and documents at once, which can help you stay focused and engaged in meetings. With a single display, shared content takes over a majority of the screen and minimizes the view of meeting participants. Minimizing the view of participants can affect meeting engagement by limiting conversation between those who are in the room and those who are not.
During a video meeting with dual displays, the primary and secondary screens will show the view of all the participants in the meeting, including the view of the local room.
- When a participant presents, the presentation will enlarge onto one screen display and the participant views will reflect on the other screen display.
- Where supported, the controller or remote will also provide options like pinning participants, changing the layout of the participant tiles, and showing the meeting's chat history.
