8.3 Managing the MCU Videoconference
An important feature of managing an MCU videoconference is controlling which
of the multiple participants is seen and heard.
q The session can be managed by the MCU itself, either by Continuous Presence
or by Voice-Activated Switching. This configuration must be defined in the
MCU’s session properties.
q In Participant View, participants can view the full-screen of a selected party.
Participant View overrides Continuous Presence and Voice-Activated
Switching.
q The Chair can force one party’s video to be broadcast to all the participants. A
Chair Force overrides Continuous Presence, Voice-Activated Switching, and
Participant View.
Voice-Activated
Switching
The participants see the video of the
participant whose audio signal is
strongest. For example, the non-
speaking participants see the person
speaking.
Continuous
Presence
Several participants in an MCU session
are viewed and heard simultaneously.
In some configurations, the selected
participant may be the largest view.
Various MCU brands have different session management designs. The
display you receive from your MCU may differ from those shown here.
