Using the MCU

Streaming is a way of viewing a conference in a standard web browser. The MCU 
allows streaming of video and, if enabled for a conference, the streaming of data. You 
can also conduct a text ‘chat’ and add notes and drawings to the data stream.

You can configure two streaming options on the MCU that will be available for users 
to choose between when streaming conferences. For each streaming option, you 
must choose a media player (QuickTime, RealPlayer, or Windows Media Player) and 
a bit rate.

1

In the web interface of the MCU, go to
