What is a Participant?
In Cisco TMS, a participant is any system capable of dialing in or being dialed out to during a conference on one of
several protocols — depending on which protocols are supported in the conference. Supported protocols depend on
how the conference is being hosted and what infrastructure equipment is in place.

What is a Video Conference Master?
Video Conference Master is the participant that drives the conference. This participant will be prompted to start the
conference if the conference is set up as a manual connect, and will be prompted to extend the conference just
before it is due to end (if this setting has been configured in Administrative Tools > Configuration > Conference
Settings). Not all systems support this feature.
