	full screen, depending on the interaction between the
	sites.
	If multiple sites are talking at the same time,
	continuous presence is used. If one site speaks
	uninterrupted for at least 15 seconds, that site appears
	in full screen on the monitor.

Discussion	Multiple sites are displayed in continuous presence.
	The current speaker’s image is highlighted.

Presentation	The speaker sees continuous presence while the other
	sites see the speaker in full screen on the monitor.

Full Screen	The site that is speaking is shown in full screen to all
	other sites. The current speaker sees the previous
	speaker.

Using Chair Control for Multipoint Calls

During some multipoint calls, you can use chair control to manage the video. In this type of call, the chair controller can choose the site whose video is sent to other sites in the conference. The chair controller can also disconnect a site or end the conference. Any participant can choose to view a specific site, request to be the broadcaster, or request to be chair controller.

Only one site at a time can be the chair controller. Before a site can become the controller, the site with control must give up control.
