Skype Room Systems v2 - first impressions
For sure it doesnt support yet dual screens , just one . If you plug second screen you get a duplicated screen of your surface which is not full screen.
What's limit the dual screen mode? Are we waiting for the SfB client in SRS setup to support that ? And when can we expect to have it anyone have an idéa?
hi Ivar,
was all you did literally just set the "Dual Monitor Mode" from OFF to ON? and the not-displaying-on-screen issue was resolved? 'cuz i've tried that but it still doesn't work. :(
But as you can see, the SRS is very much recognizing the 2nd monitor, as it's got windows background pushed to it. Grrr...
Thanks a ton in advance,

I can just add my voice to the others that asks for a list of changes/enhancements in the different versions.
Hi David, when 3.0.0.0 msi will be published? This KB https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt790558.aspx still points to 2.0.2.0 msi
Thanks David, found it, works well now! Then the only item left you guys needs to figure out is the missing Join button on invitations originating from partners, the proposed workaround (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt691563.aspx) is really a problem as we cannot know who might sent an invitation. You managed to solve this on the O365 SfB client so it should be solvable for SRS as well :-)
Thanks for the prompt reply David! Windows Store option is not working for me as I am located in Russia where SRS is not available. I don't want to install VPN software to overcome this as I am preparing image for capture and want to keep the image as clean as possible.

@Ivar - Check the settings pane in SRSv2. From there you can verify you have version 3.0.0.0 and configure the seconds front of room display. With the dual front of room screen configuration, one display shows video while the other shows content.- David Tse (SKYPE)@Pavel - Working on it now. Should be up this week.
- Great news! Will this put presentations on one screen and participants/video on the other screen? I just checked our installation which had got the update, but the presentations and video is still combined on one screen, no output on the other screen, just grey.
Hello David,
when SRS v2 installation package (the one in this KB - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt790558.aspx) will be updated to reflect the recent changes?
- David Tse (SKYPE)I am happy to share that we just published a SRS v2 app update that enables dual front of room screen to the store. Your system should automatically pickup the new update in the next few days (if the Store is not blocked).
