A SIP conference participant opens a BFCP channel to the MCU and contributes a video stream, such as that supplied by a second camera or an attached PC If the MCU is configured to allow encryption, each individual conference can be configured to either require encryption or to optionally use encryption. The MCU can send either encrypted or unencrypted content to different participants in a conference depending on the capabilities of those participants endpoints allow participant to contribute content video channel video setting on the pageContent channel markup also has the following characteristics Markup of content channel video Text chat See port reservation for more information Customizing layout views Displaying conference statistics Adding a VNC participant Adding pre-configured participantsAdding participants Viewing the participants list Sending messages to all participantsConfiguring a SIP endpoint To call a participant with a SIP endpoint in to an active conferenceconference layout see Customizing a participants See Using pane placement belowlayouts participants layout displayTo return to the Custom layout page, click pane placement behavior There is a setting on the MCUspage to control this behavior called Loudest speaker Page The current number of contributing audio/video participants The current number of contributing audio-only participantsThe current number of streaming participants watching the conference see Conference settings Pre-configured participants Summary information Controlling the near-end camera Managing a participants audio signalsDisplaying diagnostics for a participant Moving a participant Viewing the conference participant listSee Adding participants Selecting a custom participant view and Customizing layout viewsCustomizing the user interface See Adding pre-configured participants for disable option to Content channel video supportvideo codec is on the The MCU is unable to send encrypted content video to this participantpage chair control statistics for a participantchair control chair controlSee Content channel video support for additional user interfaceviews participants layout viewSee Customizing layout audio in the conference stop mutingconnected, which have disconnected, and reasons See Customizing layout views endpoint H.323 endpoint and/or Configuring a SIPSee Selecting a custom participant layout participant parametersClick the Go toClick a Conference name and then click on a participants name Click on one of the magnifying options to zoom the view in or outClick a Conference name and then click on a participants name layouts is automatically chosen with theimply potential network problems feature key is present on the MCUsetting.
