To run the VidyoConnect Room SE installer:

  1. Click the VidyoConnectRoomInstaller Download button. The VidyoConnectRoomInstaller.exe will start downloading in the left-corner of the window and will display the License Agreement window.

    2. Note

    You must run the VidyoConnect Meeting Room SE installer as an Administrator in order to have all the privileges required to change the OS settings, use other driver APIs, etc. If you do not run it as an Administrator, the VidyoRoom Admin UI will display the Application is NOT running with Admin privileges warning.
  2. When installing or upgrading the VidyoConnect Board Room, Meeting Room, or Huddle Room SE software, you may encounter a prompt from Windows asking, "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?" You must select Yes for the installation to proceed.
  3. Click Open to permit the installer to run. Note that if the Defender SmartScreen does not display, the License Agreement page will display as in the next step. The Windows screen will display.

    6. Note

    UAC (User Account Control) is a feature in Microsoft Windows that warns users with a dialog whenever a program tries to make changes to the system. The dialog asks, "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?" The dialog then provides details about the program name and publisher along with a selection to choose Yes or No.

    If you want your VidyoConnect Room to start automatically, keep the Deactivate UAC to stop prompting every time on application start checkbox selected. If you want your group video solution to run only after your consent, uncheck the box.
