Screen Mirroring on RealPresence Trio Solution
The Polycom Trio 8800 system provides screen mirroring so that you can share content from Apple® AirPlay® and Miracast®-certified devices.
Please be aware that Apple® AirPlay® or Miracast® requires a Polycom license SKU 5150-84981-001
Local Display of Apple® AirPlay® certified devices via Screen Mirroring
- Devices Supported: Apple iPhone, iPad, MacBook
- Trio and AirPlay device need to be on the same subnet or if on different subnets, they need to be routable with multicast DNS (Bonjour) bridged between the two subnets for discovery
- Network Ports/Broadcasts:
- Bonjour discovery: UDP port 5353
- Airplay Session: TCP ports 7000, 7100, 8009, 47000, UDP port 1900
- Only “Screen Mirroring” mode from is supported. Certain iOS apps use “Video Mirroring” mode – this is not supported (example. iOS YouTube app). Utilize Safari instead
- Local content presentation only (content will not be transmitted to the far end when in a point to point call or conference)
- The maximum resolutions and frame rates supported are 720@60fps or 1080@30fps.
Apple® AirPlay® or Miracast® is disabled by default and can be enabled using:
- content.airplayServer.enabled="1"
- content.wirelessDisplay.sink.enabled="1"
Display System Name for Wireless Content Connections
When the RealPresence Trio system is registered with Skype for Business, you can determine if the Skype for Business display name shows in the list of available devices that supported Apple, Windows, or Android devices can connect with to share content using AirPlay or Miracast.
The Airplay or Miracast devices search for a system name, which you can specify in one or more of the following parameters. The device displays the name you configure for the system in the following priority in order:
- content.airplayServer.name for AirPlay
- content.wirelessDisplay.name for Wireless Display
- system.name
- displayname (on the Skype for Business server)
Audible Confirmation of Mute State Changes (CVAA)
The RealPresence Trio added a new feature to enable visually impaired users to receive an audible notification of the mute state. You will now receive an alert tone when the mute status of the phone is changed from mute to un-mute or vice versa using any of the mute buttons of the device or from far-end system. The phone also plays an alert tone periodically when the phone is in mute state. You can configure this feature using the following parameters:
- se.touchFeedback.enabled
- call.mute.reminder.period
Home Screen Icon Customization
- homeScreen.placeACall.enable=“0” (Default: 1)
- homeScreen.present.enable=“0” (Default: 1)
When Content Sharing is enabled, the “Content” icon for Open SIP environments or “Present” icon for Skype for Business environments displays by default on the Home screen of the RealPresence Trio system when paired with RealPresence Trio Visual+.
You can control whether to show or hide the content sharing option from the Home screen even when Content Sharing is enabled.
Improved In-Call Indication
“Back To Call” banner across home screen during calls now oscillates through lighter to darker shades of blue during calls.
Reduces chances that the Trio will unknowingly be left in an “in call” state.
Device Lock
The above has now feature parity with the Polycom VVX Business media phone that already uses this functionality.
- Lock code prompt only after new sign-in
- Can change the code from settings menu
- Supports Skype for Business device lock policies
- Supports emergency and authorized call numbers when locked
- Mutually exclusive with currently implemented OpenSIP “Phone Lock” feature
- Can disable feature from Trio with feature.deviceLock.enable=0

Secure Single Sign-On (SSO) with Third-Party Supporting Solutions
Third-party Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication method that allows users to use the same login credentials to log in to multiple cloud-based applications, such as Microsoft Exchange and Skype for Business at the same time. SSO enables users to switch between different cloud-based applications during a single session, without being prompted to enter login credentials every time.
