Enables the MCU to request that the endpoint send lower speed video if it fails to receive all the packets which comprise the far end's video stream.

The MCU can send these messages to endpoints requesting that the bandwidth of the video that they are sending be decreased based on the quality of video received by the MCU.

If there is a bandwidth limitation in the path between the endpoint and the MCU, it is better for the MCU to receive every packet of a lower rate stream than to miss some packets of a higher rate stream.

Prevents the MCU from duplicating large-pane

and some small panes, the MCU will typically

 

duplicate in a small pane the video of a

 

participant shown in a large pane. This is done to

 

minimize the switching of small panes in response

 

to changes of participant focus in the large pane.

 

If you would prefer not to duplicate participants

 

in small panes in this way, check this option. For

 

more details of view layouts, see Understanding

This has the same affect as using the 'crown' icon

page.

 

An administrator can remove the importance

This setting does not affect participants who view

 

the content channel independently from their

 

conference panes (for example, those viewing the

 

content channel on a separate video screen).

 

This setting will not affect those participants

even if it is 'important'.
