Conference Level

● The Telepresence Mode and Telepresence Layout Mode fields are only displayed in the
Conference Profile dialog box if the Collaboration Server has a Telepresence license installed.
● A Telepresence conference must have Telepresence Mode enabled in its profile.
● In Telepresence Mode, ITP sites are automatically detected.
● When Telepresence mode is selected in a conference profile, the following options are disabled:
 Borders
 Site Names
 Speaker Indication
 Skins
 Same Layout
 Presentation Mode
 Auto Layout
 Lecture Mode
● The master (center) camera is used for video, audio and content.
● Conference Templates can be used to simplify the setting up Telepresence conferences where
precise participant layout and video forcing settings are crucial. Conference Templates:
 Save the conference Profile.
 Save all participant parameters including their Personal Layout and Video Forcing settings.
● An ongoing Telepresence conference can be saved to a Conference Template for later re-use.

Automatic Detection of Immersive Telepresence (ITP) Sites

When the conference Telepresence Mode is set to Auto (Default) ITP endpoints are automatically detected.
If an ITP endpoint is detected in such conference, ITP features are applied to all endpoints and the
Collaboration Server sends conference video with the following options disabled:
● Borders
● Site names
● Speaker indication
● Skins
● Same Layout
● Presentation Mode
● Auto Layout
● Lecture Mode
The ITP features are dynamic, and if all ITP endpoints disconnect from the conference, normal conference
video is resumed for the remaining all participants. ITP features are re-applied to all participants should an
ITP endpoint re-connects to that conference.
