Proximity through Jabber for Wireless Content Sharing

Using Cisco Proximity, you can easily share content from your laptop, smartphone, or tablet wirelessly in Cisco video-equipped meeting rooms. The newest Jabber software, version 12.8.2, integrates directly with Proximity to ensure a seamless and efficient user experience.   

Requirements

• Ensure you are using the Cisco Jabber 12.8.2.  If you are not using the latest version (12.8.2), download and install the application here.
• To use Proximity, the device you want to share content from must be:
  • connected to the Stanford Wifi (SSID: Stanford)
  • in the same room as the video conferencing room system you’re using
  • unmuted (Proximity uses sound detection to locate and connect your device to the room system.)

Note: Proximity is not recommended for sharing videos or content with animations. This includes slide decks with animation effects.
