If the lecturer is disconnected during an Ongoing Conference, the conference resumes 

standard conferencing.
Forcing is enabled at the Conference level only. It applies only to the video layout viewed by 

the lecturer as all the other conference participants see only the lecturer in full screen.
If an asymmetrical video layout is selected for the lecturer (i.e. 3+1, 4+1, 8+1), each video 

window contains a different participant (i.e. one cannot be forced to a large frame and to a 

small frame simultaneously).
When Lecture Mode is enabled for the conference, the lecturer is indicated by an icon ( ) in 

the Role column of the Participants list.

To control the Lecture Mode during an Ongoing Conference:
During the Ongoing Conference, in the Conference Properties - Video Settings dialog box you 

can: 
•

Enable or disable the Lecture Mode and designate the conference lecturer in the Lecturer 

list; select None to disable the Lecture Mode or select a participant to become the 

lecturer to enable it.

•

Designate a new lecturer.
