Lecture Mode
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.
Automatic switching is suspended when one of the participants begins
talking, and it is resumed automatically when the lecturer resumes
talking.
Enabling Lecture Mode
Lecture Mode is enabled at the conference level by selecting the lecturer.
Automatic switching between participants viewed on the lecturer’s screen
is enabled in the conference Profile.
Enabling the Automatic Switching
In the Profile Properties - Video Settings dialog box, select the Lecturer
View Switching check box.
This option is activated when the conference includes more sites than
windows in the selected layout. If this option is disabled, the
participants will be displayed in the selected video layout without
switching.
