4 person mode: The TelePresence Server composes the participant video streams as if there were
four people sitting next to each other on one side of a table, irrespective of their physical location.
The conference must have at least three participants present that support the OneTable feature.
The conference layout sent to connected systems varies based on how many screens those systems
have as follows:
Endpoint configuration options that affect view layouts
Self view setting
The Self view setting for an endpoint determines whether the TelePresence Server ever displays its own
video stream on that endpoint; that is, whether a participant may see himself/herself. If this setting is not
selected, the endpoint will never display its own video stream.
If you do allow an endpoint to display its own video then the TelePresence Server always places the self
view last when placing participants in the available view panes, even if the participant is one of the
loudest in the call (i.e. even if he or she is shown prominently to the other conference participants).
When deciding dynamically between different layouts based on the number of small panes available and
the number of streams to show, the TelePresence Server does not consider any video streams being
received from the viewing system. As an example, the TelePresence Server will not dynamically switch
from this layout:
to this layout:
if the only benefit of the additional small panes would be that it was then possible for the participant to
see himself/herself.
Show full screen view of single-screen endpoints
When placing participants within layout panes, the TelePresence Server places the "loudest" people
first, in the most prominent panes, and the quietest people in the smaller panes. However, in
conferences with a mixture of TelePresence systems (which typically use large, high resolution,
