Chapter 2-Additional Conferencing Information

Lecture Mode Monitoring
A conference in which the Lecture Mode is enabled is started as any other
conference. The conference runs as an audio activated Continuous
Presence conference until the lecturer connects to the conference. The
selected video layout is the one that is activated when the conference
starts. Once the lecturer is connected, the conference switches to the
Lecture Mode.
When Lecturer View Switching is activated, it enables automatic switching
between the conference participants in the lecturer’s video window. The
switching in this mode is not determined by voice activation and is
initiated when the number of participants exceeds the number of
windows in the selected video layout. In this case, when the switching is
performed, the system refreshes the display and replaces the last active
speaker with the current speaker.
When one of the participants is talking, the automatic switching is
suspended, showing the current speaker, and it is resumed when the
lecturer resumes talking.
If the lecturer is disconnected during an Ongoing Conference, the
conference resumes standard conferencing.
Forcing is enabled at the Conference level only. It applies only to the
video layout viewed by the lecturer as all the other conference
participants see only the lecturer in full screen.
If an asymmetrical video layout is selected for the lecturer (i.e. 3+1, 4+1,
8+1), each video window contains a different participant (i.e. one cannot
be forced to a large frame and to a small frame simultaneously).
