About Multipoint Viewing Modes

© Polycom, Inc.
Your system will be configured to display sites during a multipoint call in a
particular way. For example, you may be able to view all of the sites at the
same time, or you may only see the site where the speaker is located.
The following table describes the different multipoint viewing modes. What you
see during a multipoint call can vary depending on how the VSX system is
configured, the number of sites participating, and whether content is shared.
Setting Description
Auto Allow the system to switch between Discussion and
Presentation modes, based on the interaction between the
sites.
If more than one site is talking at the same time, the
system uses Discussion mode so that all speakers can be
seen.
If one speaker talks without interruption for about 15
seconds, the system uses Presentation mode so that all
participants can see the speaker in a larger picture.
Discussion View all of the sites at the same time, including your own site.
This is also known as continuous presence.

window, on the first monitor.
