About Multipoint Viewing Modes

What you see during a multipoint call can vary depending on how the Polycom system is configured, the number of sites participating, and whether content is shared. The multipoint viewing mode configured on the host system is the one used in the call. The following table describes the different multipoint viewing modes.

Setting

Description

 

 

 

Auto

Allow the system to switch between Discussion and

 

Presentation modes, based on the interaction between

 

the sites.

 

 

If more than one site is talking at the same time, the

 

system uses Discussion mode so that all speakers

 

can be seen.

 

 

If one speaker talks without interruption for about

 

15 seconds, the system uses Presentation mode

 

so that all participants can see the speaker in a

 

larger picture.

 

 

 

Discussion

View all of the sites at the same time, including your

 

own site. This is also known as continuous presence.
