Reference
Marking a participant as "important"
For each conference, one active participant can be set as "important". This means that the TelePresence
Server considers this participant first when deciding which contributors to show in which layout panes, rather
than their position in the list being set by how loudly they are speaking. See the endpoint control settings in
Displaying conference status.
Muted participants
Audio mute
Participants who have had their audio muted from the web interface do not contribute audio to the
conference. Additionally, muted participants are considered after participants who are not muted when the
TelePresence Server places participants in view layout panes.
Note that other participants will not have an indication that a participant has been muted. They simply will no
longer hear that participant speaking.
Video mute
Participants who have had their video muted from the web interface do not contribute video to the
conference. They will continue to contribute audio as normal, unless it is muted separately.
