Advanced use

A Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) enables several sites to participate in the same conference.

An MCU conference can have different modes:

Voice Switched means that the image of the person currently speaking will be broadcast to all the other
conference participants. This will remain the case until another participant starts to speak.

Continuous Presence shows several participants on the same screen at the same time.

Chairman Control functionality enables one participant to control the meeting by selecting which of the
conference participants is to be broadcasted to the other participants.
