About video conferencing
A video call involving more than two participants is called a video conference or a MultiSite call. You will then make use of the optional
Observe that the infrastructure of your video network may contain external Multi Conference Units (MCU). These are devices dedicated to handle several simultaneous video conferences, each with many participants.
Consult your system administrator for information on how to utilize external MCUs, if applicable.
Who becomes the host?
The host of a video conference is the endpoint to which all the others are connected. In other words, the one who initiated the conference.
If two systems both supporting MultiSite have established their own video conference independent of the other and one of these two call the other, cascading will take place. This means that you may have more participants in total than a single system supports. In this case, the host will be the one calling the other.
The host has the right to terminate the connection to any of the participants. The participants cannot control any of the others, but may disconnect themselves from the meeting at all times.
