Using Chair Control for Multipoint Calls 

During some multipoint calls, you can use chair control to manage the people 
video. In this type of call, the chair controller can choose the site whose video 

is sent to other sites in the conference. The chair controller can also disconnect 
a site or end the conference. Any participant can choose to view a specific site, 

request to be the broadcaster, or request to be chair controller. 

Only one site at a time can be the chair controller. Before a site can become 

the controller, the site with control must give up control.  

The type of MCU in use and the systems in the call determine whether chair 

control is available.
