Using Multipoint
In a point-to-point videoconference, thereÕs only one way to participate: your site
sees the other site, and the other site sees your site. In a multipoint
videoconference, there can be as few as three sites, but there can be many more
than that.
ThereÕs a lot more to think about as well Ñ which site does the speaker view?
which site do all the other sites view? who controls the conference? and so on. The
various multipoint modes address all of these issues.
Understanding the Three Multipoint Modes
Every multipoint videoconference operates in one of three Òmodes,Ó with each
mode offering a different level of control over the conference.
Depending on how your administrator set up the conference, all

of the multipoint modes may not be available to you.
Voice-Activated mode
Voice-Activated mode is the simplest way to take part in a multipoint video-
conference. In Voice-Activated mode, all participants see the person whoÕs
currently speaking. The current speaker sees the person who spoke last.
You can use this mode whether you have a wireless keypad or a QuickPad.
