Reference
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 do not support the extra channel and would otherwise be unable to see the content.
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 panes; it does not draw borders around participants being shown in full-screen
panes.
The TelePresence Server draws a blue border around the active speaker in the conference, and a grey border
in all other cases. 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.
Muted participants
Audio mute
Participants who have had their audio muted from the web interface do not contribute audio to the
conference. Additionally, muted participants are considered after participants who are not muted when the
TelePresence Server places participants in view layout panes.
Note that other participants will not have an indication that a participant has been muted. They simply will no
longer hear that participant speaking.
Video mute
Participants who have had their video muted from the web interface do not contribute video to the
conference. They will continue to contribute audio as normal, unless it is muted separately.
