Actions Any Site Can Perform

Any site in a multi-point video call can perform the following chair
control actions:
Acquire chair: Enables chair control for your site. The other
sites in the video call cannot acquire the chair until you release
it. If your site has chair control, a small gavel is displayed in
chair control mode. If you try to acquire chair control while
another site has it, a message is displayed that tells you
another site has chair control.
View Site: Displays the selected site in the live window. The
View Site action overrides Presentation mode (voice-activated
switching) and any broadcaster actions from the chair. It does
not affect video at other sites.
Stop Viewing Site: Causes your ViewStation SP to return to
Presentation mode (voice-activated switching) or broadcaster
actions as set by the site that has chair control.
Make Me the Broadcaster: Sends a request to the chair
control site to force all sites to view your site.
Select Broadcaster: Forces all sites to view the selected site,
and disables Presentation mode (voice-activated switching).

Actions Only the Chair Control Site Can Perform

control actions:
Select Broadcaster: Forces all sites to view the selected site,

switching). The site that is speaking appears full screen to all
sites in the call.
