Introduction
Customization

Customize the video conferencing device's behavior using macros

With macros, you can create your own snippets of code that
run on the device. The language is JavaScript / ECMAScript 6
with support for features such as arrow functions, promises and
classes.
The macro framework allows an integrator to write scripts
that tailor a device's behavior to suite an individual customer's
requirements. The integrators can, for example, implement
their own features or variations of features, automate specific
configurations or re-configurations, and create custom tests and
monitoring functions.
By combining the use of macros and creation of a custom user
interface panel (UI extension), you can amend the user interface
to trigger customized local functionality. For examples:
• Add speed dial buttons
• Add a button for room reset, which set all configurations back
to your preferred default setup
Consult the Customization guide for details about macros and how
to use the device's built in Macro editor. Go to:
