Description

 

 

 

 

Mute participant

When the Mute Participants Except Lecturer option is enabled, the

 

except lecturer

audio of all participants in the conference except for the lecturer can

 

 

be automatically muted upon connection to the conference. This

 

 

prevents other conference participants from accidentally interrupting

 

 

the lecture, or from a noisy participant affecting the audio quality of the

 

 

entire conference. Muted participants cannot unmute themselves

 

 

unless they are unmuted from the RMX Web Client/RMX Manager.

 

 

You can enable or disable this option during the ongoing conference.

 

 

Notes:

 

 

• When enabled, the mute indicator on the participant endpoints are

 

 

not visible because the mute participants was initiated by the

 

 

MCU. Therefore, it is recommended to inform the participants that

 

 

their audio is muted by using the Closed Caption or Message

 

 

Overlay functions.

 

 

In the RMX Web Client/Manager, the mute by MCU indicator is

 

 

listed for each muted participant in the Audio column in the

 

 

Participants pane.

 

 

• The Mute Participants Except Lecturer option can be disabled

 

 

during an ongoing conference, thereby unmuting all the

 

 

participants in the conference.

 

 

• If the endpoint of the designated lecturer is muted when the

 

 

lecturer connects to the conference, the lecturer remains muted

 

 

until the endpoint has been unmuted.

 

 

• When you replace a lecturer, the MCU automatically mutes the

 

 

previous lecturer and unmutes the new lecturer.

 

 

• When you disconnect a lecturer from the conference or the

 

 

lecturer leaves the conference, all participants remain muted but

 

 

are able to view participants in regular video layout until the you

 

 

disable the Mute Participants Except Lecturer option.

 

 

• A participant can override the Mute Participants Except Lecturer

 

 

option by activating the Mute All Except Me option using the

 

 

appropriate DTMF code, provided the participant has authorization

 

 

for this operation in the IVR Services. The lecturer audio is muted

 

 

and the participant audio is unmuted. You can reactivate the Mute

 

 

Participants Except Lecturer option after a participant has

 

 

previously activated the Mute All Except Me option. The

 

 

participant is muted and the lecturer, if designated, is unmuted.

 

 

• In cascaded conferences, all participants (including the link

 

 

participants) are muted. Only the lecturer is not muted.
