Moderating a Videoconference
About this task
You can moderate a videoconference hosted on an external MCU or hosted on your own XT Series
built-in MCU. A moderator has special rights in a videoconference, including blocking the sound and
video of other participants, inviting new participants, disconnecting others, determining video
layouts, and closing meetings.
This section describes different actions you can take as the moderator of a videoconference hosted
by your XT Series built-in MCU, for example inviting participants and assigning a participant to be
the lecturer. To change the video layout of all participants, see
Participants on page 73.
You can moderate a videoconference hosted by another MCU (such as another XT Series MCU or
®
Scopia Elite MCU) if your XT Series is managed by Scopia
supports H.243 and you are connected to the meeting via H.323. Both the XT Series built-in MCU
and many third-party MCUs support the H.243 standard, which enables remote videoconference
management.
Important:
When a meeting is hosted by the Scopia
not the moderator and attempt a moderator-only action (depending on whether or not the
meeting has PIN-protected moderator features).
For meetings hosted by a standalone (not built-in) MCU, use DTMF to issue instructions to the
hosting MCU by pressing the XT Remote Control Unit keypad during the call, according to the
MCU's documentation. For example, in meetings hosted on the Scopia
access the MCU menu (see User Guide for Scopia
