NEW FEATURES

  • Introducing RightSight 2 Grid View (Beta)

    • Zoom Rooms Appliance

      • Multi-Stream (also known as Smart Gallery): With this setting, remote participants see a total of five video streams coming from the Zoom Rooms device.

        • The first video stream shows the entire room.

          • The other four streams show meeting participants.

    • Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows Support

      • For Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows customers, Grid View will produce a single video stream with up to four individual grids.

      • To enable Grid View you will need Sync App (version 2.5.293 and above), found here.

    • Additional platform support coming in future CollabOS updates.

    • Grid View is in beta to collect your feedback and refine the experience. Send feedback to [email protected].
