Additional Conferencing Information

Auto Scan and Customized Polling in Video Layout

Auto scan and customized polling in video layout is applicable for AP conferencing only.

Auto Scan enables you to define a single cell in the conference layout to cycle the display of participants that are not in the conference layout.

Customized Polling allows the cyclic display to be set to a predefined order for a predefined time period. The cyclic display only occurs when the number of participants is larger than the number of cells in the layout.

Guidelines for Using Auto Scan and Customized Polling

Auto Scan and Customized Polling are supported in AVC CP conferences only.

Participants that are in the conference layout will not appear in the Auto Scan enabled cell.

If Customized Polling is not used to define the order of the Auto Scan it will proceed according to order in which the participants connected to the conference.

If the user changes the conference layout, the Auto Scan settings are not exported to the new layout. If the user changes the conference layout back to the layout in which Auto Scan was enabled, Auto Scan with the previous settings will be resumed.

Enabling the Auto Scan and Customized Polling

Auto Scan and Customized Polling are enabled during the ongoing conference, in the Conference Properties - Video Settings dialog box.

Enabling the Auto Scan

You enable the Auto Scan feature by selecting it in the Video Layout cell.

To enable Auto Scan:

1In the Collaboration Server Web Client Main Screen - Conference list pane, double-click the conference or right-click the conference and then click Conference Properties.
