About Multipoint Viewing Modes

What you see during a multipoint call can vary depending on how the Polycom 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.
	Systems with:	See this:
	Single monitor	All sites, each in its own window
	Dual monitors	Speaker on second monitor with
		other sites on first monitor, or one
		far site on each monitor

Presentation	View the person who is speaking. This is also known
	as voice activated switching.
	The current speaker always sees up to four far sites,
	each in its own window, on the first monitor.
	Systems with:	See this:
	Single monitor	Speaker in full screen
	Dual monitors	Speaker on the first monitor and
