Muting all Participants Except the Lecturer (AVC-Based CP
Conferences)
The Mute Participants Except Lecturer option can be enabled or disabled during the ongoing
conference (in addition to its setting in the conference Profile). When enabled, the audio of
all participants in the conference except for the lecturer can be automatically muted upon
connection to the conference. This prevents other conference participants from accidentally
interrupting the lecture, or from a noisy participant affecting the audio quality of the entire
conference. Muted participants cannot unmute themselves unless they are unmuted from
the Collaboration Server Web Client/RMX Manager.
