Set both TVs to input source HDMI 1 using the source button (button 2 in the diagram).

Locate the touch panel on the table. Tap New Meeting to start a new one or Join for an existing invite. If you click Join, enter the Meeting ID in the prompt, and connect to Zoom.

Your computer’s desktop or window you choose to share will appear on the other screen and be viewable to remote participants.

The Logitech Meetup (Camera/ Microphone/ Speaker) can be controlled via the touch panel or the square Logitech button remote on the table.
