What you see during a multipoint call can vary depending on how the
Polycom system is configured, the number of sites participating, and whether
content is shared. The multipoint viewing mode configured on the host system
is the one used in the call. The following table describes the different
multipoint viewing modes.

Description
Allow the system to switch between Discussion and
Presentation modes, based on the interaction between
the sites.
• If more than one site is talking at the same time, the
system uses Discussion mode so that all speakers
can be seen.
• If one speaker talks without interruption for about
15 seconds, the system uses Presentation mode
so that all participants can see the speaker in a
larger picture.
View all of the sites at the same time, including your
own site. This is also known as continuous presence.
