Multipoint Viewing Layouts

What you see during a multipoint call can vary depending on how the RealPresence Group system is
configured, the number of sites participating, the number of monitors you are using, and whether content is
shared. The multipoint viewing layout configured on the host system is the one used in the call.
When you use two monitors of equal size, you can have eight-way multipoint calling, depending upon your
system configuration. When you share content, one monitor is used for content and one for people. The
configuration varies depending on whether your administrator has enabled Self View and how many people
are participating. When you do not share content, the configuration for both monitors is spread over both
monitors.
To find out more about multipoint layouts, please talk to the administrator of your RealPresence Group
system.
