Video Forcing - Polycom WEBCOMMANDER 8 User Manual

Video Forcing

You can select the participant to appear in each of the video layout windows.
Video forcing can be performed at the conference level or at the participant
level.
Video forcing at the conference level applies to all the conference participants
but it may be modified for individual participants. Video forcing at the
participant level applies only to the participant's whose video layout
properties are being modified.
Video forcing guidelines:
• A participant cannot appear in two or more windows at the same time.
When attempting to select a participant that was already selected in
another window, the system deletes the participant from the first window
and assigns the participant to the second window.
A participant cannot see him/herself in a layout window (unless Same
•
Layout is selected).
Video forcing performed at the conference level overrides video forcing
•
at the participant level.
A participant should be assigned to the same size window in the
•
conference level as that in the participant level. This is especially
important when the video layout is set to mixed view images sizes, such
as 4+1, 5+1,7+1 and 8+1.
