Multipoint Viewing Modes

24
What you see during a multipoint call can vary depending on how the
Polycom HDX system is configured, the number of sites participating, the
number of monitors you are using, and whether content is shared. The
multipoint viewing mode configured on the host system is the one used in the
call. To find out more about these modes, please talk to the administrator of
your Polycom HDX system. The following table describes the different
multipoint viewing modes.

in full screen on the monitor.

The speaker sees continuous presence while the other
sites see the speaker in full screen on the monitor.
