Lecture Mode

Lecture Mode enables all participants to view the lecturer in full screen while the conference lecturer sees all the other conference participants in the selected layout while he/she is speaking. When the number of sites/ endpoints exceeds the number of video windows in the layout, switching between participants occurs every 15 seconds.

Automatic switching is suspended when one of the participants begins talking, and it is resumed automatically when the lecturer resumes talking.

Enabling Lecture Mode

Lecture Mode is enabled at the conference level by selecting the lecturer.

Automatic switching between participants viewed on the lecturer’s screen is enabled in the conference Profile.

Enabling the Automatic Switching

>>In the Profile Properties - Video Settings dialog box, select the Lecturer View Switching check box.

This option is activated when the conference includes more sites than windows in the selected layout. If this option is disabled, the participants will be displayed in the selected video layout without switching.

For more information about Profile definition, see "Defining Profiles” on page 1-8.
