During some multipoint calls, you can use chair control to manage the people
video. In this type of call, the chair controller can choose the site whose video
is sent to other sites in the conference. The chair controller can also disconnect
a site or end the conference. Any participant can choose to view a specific site,
request to be the broadcaster, or request to be chair controller.
Only one site at a time can be the chair controller. Before a site can become the
controller, the site with control must give up control.
Chair control is available in a call only if it is allowed by the bridge.
To use the chair control options when you are in a multipoint call:
1. On a computer, open a web browser.
2. In the browser address line, enter the system's IP address, for example,
http://10.11.12.13, to go to the video conferencing system's web
interface.
3. Click Place a Call.
4. Click Chair Control to go to the Chair Control screen.
The Chair Control option is only available when the system is in a multipoint call.
