Description of Feature
The term Discussion Mode refers to the Collaboration Server ability to identify conferencing scenarios, in
which either one or two participants are the main/only speaker(s). In such cases, provided this feature is
activated, AVC endpoints in CP Only or mixed CP and SVC conferences, view the conference in either a
1+7 or a 2+8 layout (depending on the number of main speakers), with the main speakers video displayed
in the main cell(s), as shown in the table below.
