management.

Changing the Video Layout for all Participants

About this task
As a meeting moderator, you can determine the video layouts for all participants in your meeting.
A video layout is the arrangement of participant images as they appear on the monitor in a
videoconference. If the meeting includes a presentation, a layout can also refer to the
arrangement of the presentation image together with the meeting participants.
If you host the meeting on your Avaya XT Series built-in Media Server, you can change the video
layouts on the Avaya XT Series. However, if you host the meeting on an external Media Server
like the Scopia Elite MCU or the Avaya Meetings Server Media Server, you must use the methods
available on that Media Server, such as sending DTMF commands.
The layouts of a multi-party meeting also depend on the host Media Server. The Scopia Elite MCU
or the Avaya Meetings Server Media Server have a different set of layouts to the Avaya XT Series
built-in Media Server. In both cases, the default layout is a dynamic one, which changes
depending on the number of participants displaying video. The choice of layouts depends on your
Avaya XT Series model and the number of participants with video present in the call.
