About Multipoint Viewing Modes
What you see during a multipoint call can vary depending on how the Polycom
HDX system is configured, the number of sites participating, and whether
content is shared. The multipoint viewing mode configured on the host system
is the one used in the call. The following table describes the different
multipoint viewing modes.
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.
