Using in-conference features

9

After you join a conference, you can control many conference features directly from 
your video endpoint. Using FECC or DTMF navigation you can:



Control conference views



Select participants



Control a participant’s camera

The default behavior of the Cisco TelePresence MCU is to display the "loudest" 
participants in the most prominent layout panes. If there are more contributors than 
there are panes available, then the "quietest" participants are not shown.
When you join a conference, it is possible to control the way participants display on the 
video screen. Typically you can choose from two primary groupings of layouts:



 — in these formats, all conference participants display in the 

same size pane on the video screen and thus have the same level of focus or 
importance. For example, a conference with four participants might display each in 
a pane sized to be a quarter (1/4) the size of your video screen.



 — in these formats, conference participants display in various 

pane sizes on the video screen depending on their “importance”. For example, a 
layout might display the participant who is speaking in a pane larger than the other 
conference participants. Or, you might choose to focus on a particular participant

Typically, you will use the navigation keys on your endpoint to scroll through the 
available conference views. 
When you are scrolling through the available conference views, icons will appear on the 
screen. The table below describes the icons that appear on-screen:

You can control the conference view using FECC. If FECC is not available on your 
endpoint, DTMF navigation is automatically enabled.
