Sharing Content During Conferences

Exclusive Content Mode

In this mode, the MCU prevents participants other than the current content sharer, from sharing content. Exclusive content may be limited to the lecturer, as described below.

To modify exclusive content mode by granting (or canceling) of token ownership, see Giving and Canceling Token Ownership (AVC Participants)).

Guidelines for Sharing Content in Exclusive Content Mode

Exclusive Content Mode is available in all conferencing modes.

Exclusive Content Mode is enabled or disabled (system default) by a check box in the Conference Profile - Advanced tab, or during an ongoing conference using the Conference Properties - Advanced tab.

In Exclusive Content Mode, when the RESTRICT_CONTENT_BROADCAST_TO_LECTURER system flag is set to:

NO - The first participant to send content becomes the Content Token holder, and releasing the Content Token allows other participants to acquire the token, and begin transmitting content.

YES - Only the designated Lecturer can be the Content Token holder.

The Exclusive Content Mode check box replaces the EXCLUSIVE_CONTENT_ MODE system flag used in previous versions to control exclusive content mode for the system.

In Exclusive Content Mode, an endpoint attempting to send content after another endpoint starts sending content, is rejected with a momentary content interruption.
