Reference
For single-screen systems, the following three conference layouts sent by the TelePresence Server do
not include any continuous presence panes; all panes are of equal size in these layouts.
The Show continuous presence panes setting does still have an effect for single screen systems,
however, because the layout used when in OneTable mode uses overlaid continuous presence panes
and the presence of the 3 small overlaid panes at the base of the screen is controlled by this option. The
overlaid panes are automatically centered if possible.
Allow content in main video
This feature allows the TelePresence Server to send a conference's content in the main video channel of
endpoints that don't support the extra channel.
Endpoints that would otherwise be unable to see the content channel can see it if you enable this feature.
The content channel stream is given the largest pane of this composed layout, which is shown in the
main video channel. The continuous presence panes of up to four other participants are composed
across the bottom of the layout below the content stream. The continuous presence panes are centered.
Show borders around endpoints setting
If Show borders around endpoints is enabled, the TelePresence Server draws borders around
participants that are displayed in small overlaid panes; it does not draw borders around participants being
shown in large full-screen panes.
The TelePresence Server draws a red border around the active speaker in the conference, and a white
border around other participants. There may not always be an active speaker to highlight in a conference,
for example if everyone is muted or no-one is talking.
Enabling this setting for an endpoint means that the video layout sent to that endpoint will use borders; it
does not mean that this participant will always be shown within a border to other participants – those
other participants' views will use their own Show borders around endpoints setting.
Marking a participant as "important"
For each conference, one active participant can be set as "important". This means that the TelePresence
Server considers this participant first when deciding which contributors to show in which layout panes,
rather than their position in the list being set by how loudly they are speaking. See the endpoint control
settings in Displaying conference status.
