Setting Description
Multipoint Mode
Discussion mode is used. If one site is talking uninterrupted
for at least 15 seconds, the speaker appears full screen.
What you see during a multipoint call can depend on factors such as the
Polycom HDX system monitor configuration, the number of sites in the call,
whether content is shared, and whether dual monitor emulation is used. The
multipoint viewing mode on the host system is the one used in the call.
Auto — The view switches between
Presentation mode and Discussion mode,
depending on the interaction between the sites.
If multiple sites are talking at the same time,
Discussion — All sites are displayed at the
same time in separate windows on the display.
This mode is also called continuous presence.
Presentation — The speaker sees up to 4 other
sites in discussion mode while the other sites
see the speaker in full screen mode.
Full Screen — The site that is speaking is
shown in full screen to all other sites. This mode
is also called voice-activated switching. The
current speaker sees the previous speaker.
