SRSv2 4.0.64.0 Update Available in the Store

This new feature is dependent on functionality that is not yet in the current Teams desktop/mobile client software.  Once that is available then both halves of this new capability will allow it to function.  Essentially, the Teams client on a personal device (like my Surface Pro) can detect that a Skype Room System is in close-proximity (when I carry my tablet into the meeting room).  If I join the meeting from my device it'll trigger the SRS to join the same meeting, even without that meeting residing on the SRS's own calendar.

Hi everyone, to answer some of your questions:
- Bunce44, dual content display means SRS now has the ability to duplicate content connected via HDMI ingest to both screes in a dual front of room screen setup / room. 

- MattEllis IanBryant, others, we have not enables MiraCast in SRS. We have enabled proximity based meeting join, using BT beacons for proximity.  This is fully production ready on the SRS side; there is a BT beacon config setting in the SRS admin settings UX.  The client side of this feature will be available in Microsoft Teams only (not SfB).  Teams desktop has this feature enabled today in pre-release rings, and this should be going to GA shortly, followed by the same capabilities on Teams mobile.

- we added the new front of room text on SRS to highlight the new capabilities, but we screwed up in making the text static, and appear even when it was not applicable.  We will be doing a "bug fix" in our Jan release to get rid of the text if: 1) BT beacon is turned off on SRS in settings and/or 2) Teams meetings are disabled on SRS.  

- Torsten Siegmund we have not yet completed our certification testing on SP6; that is still in process. The SP5 / 2017 model should continue to be available for multiple months until SP6 is fully certified (which should hopefully happen soon).  If you're having challenges getting systems with SP5 please reach out to me and/or David Groom with the reseller and disti names / info?

- Chris82 can you please let us know more details on the Lenovo Hub 500 fan noise issue?  Are you hearing this only when projecting content to two Front of Room displays?  Nothing should have changed otherwise for CPU usage and therefore fan load. So if the fan just started to become louder with a single FoR display there may be a HW issue. 

Hope this helps, keep the feedback coming!

"Add this room to a meeting with your personal devices"

I like the idea of the new proximity-based join feature.  Once we're ready for it, our users will love it. 

Right now, we're a Skype for Business on-prem only shop, and this addition to the FoR UI has caused a great deal of confusion.  Our users are expecting that they can use Miracast/AirPlay/some-other-protocol-that-they-made-up/etc to use the room system.  Bluetooth beaconing is turned off, and the SRSv2 is set to Skype for Business Only mode.  In this case, I expected the "Add this room to a meeting with your personal devices" verbiage to not show on the FoR display.  Are we able to remove this message until we're ready?

Really great to see that "Display content on both Front of Room displays on dual screen systems" has finally been introduced as a feature with Skype Room Systems. Many of our users have been waiting for this for a long time. Good work!

Jan_S we've been looking at usage of proximity based join in our DF / beta / TAP rings and are making some UX tweaks as a result of feedback.  That said, our target is still to get the experience out to Ring 4 / GA next month, on both mobile and desktop. 

Hi Guys.

Does anyone have any information on the setup or configuration required to "Add this room to a meeting with your personal devices

Hi !

This update provide a main screen UI improvement that is very good !

Unfortunately, it does not fix the LED ring issue on HP Eliste slice G2, it does not illuminate anymore in green/red during the calls.

I do not understand the purpose of "Add this room to a meeting with your personal devices" message, the room is not discoverable with "windows+k" (so I guess that Miracast is not enabled). What is the feature hidden behind ?

Thanks,

don't mess up my srs ms!!!! :)
