Lecture Mode (AVC CP Only)

Lecture Mode enables all participants to view the lecturer in full screen while the conference
lecturer sees all the other conference participants in the selected layout while he/she is
speaking. When the number of sites/endpoints exceeds the number of video windows in
the layout, switching between participants occurs every 15 seconds. Conference participants
cannot change their Personal Layouts while Lecture Mode is enabled.
Automatic switching is suspended when one of the participants begins talking, and it is
resumed automatically when the lecturer resumes talking.
Lecture Mode is available only in AVC CP Conferencing Mode.
