MGC WebCommander User’s Guide

Software CP conferences cannot be set to Auto Layout.

The Auto Layout feature can be used with Lecture Mode (for the lecturer display), but cannot be enabled with "Lecture Show".

Auto Layout can be used with “Same Layout” and Conference On Port (COP). In this mode, the system selects the layout as if one additional participant was added to the conference to show the self view of the speaker. For example, if the there are five participants in the conference in a standard CP conference, the system will show only four windows as the speaker does not see himself/herself. In Same Layout or COP mode, the Auto Layout will select a layout for five participants (and not four) to show the speaker.

Selecting a Personal Layout

Personal layout is viewed only by the individual participant. Participants not viewing their personal layout see the conference layout.

Participants in Click&View-enabled conferences can change their personal video layouts using DTMF codes.

You can select whether the participant’s views the Conference or Personal video layout and you can change the personal layout for participants in WebCommander–Meeting Director window.

Personal Layout requires the Video+ card.

Click & View requires the Video+ card, the Audio+ card and the configuration of a Video IVR service. For more details, see the MGC Manager User’s Guide, Volume I.
