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 page channel video setting on theContent channel markup also has the following characteristics Markup of content channel video Text chat See port reservation for more information Sending messages to all participants Adding a VNC participant Adding pre-configured participantsAdding participants Viewing the participants list Customizing layout views Displaying conference statisticsTo call a participant with a SIP endpoint in to an active conference Configuring a SIP endpointparticipants layout display See Using pane placement belowlayouts conference layout see Customizing a participantsTo return to the Custom layout page, click There is a setting on the MCUs pane placement behaviorpage to control this behavior called Loudest speaker Page The current number of contributing audio-only participants The current number of contributing audio/video participantsThe current number of streaming participants watching the conference see Conference settings Viewing the conference participant list Controlling the near-end camera Managing a participants audio signalsDisplaying diagnostics for a participant Moving a participant Pre-configured participants Summary informationSee Adding participants Customizing layout views Selecting a custom participant view andCustomizing the user interface See Adding pre-configured participants for to Content channel video support disable optionThe MCU is unable to send encrypted content video to this participant video codec is on thepage chair control statistics for a participantchair control chair controluser interface See Content channel video support for additionalaudio in the conference stop muting participants layout viewSee Customizing layout viewsconnected, which have disconnected, and reasons See Customizing layout views participant parameters H.323 endpoint and/or Configuring a SIPSee Selecting a custom participant layout endpointClick on one of the magnifying options to zoom the view in or out Go toClick a Conference name and then click on a participants name Click theClick a Conference name and then click on a participants name is automatically chosen with the layoutsdelay added to the media to accommodate the feature key is present on the MCUsetting.
