Sending Content to Legacy Endpoints in Telepresence Conferences
The Collaboration Server can be configured to manage the layouts of to H.323/SIP/ISDN
endpoints that do not support H.239 Content (legacy endpoints) over the video (people)
channel in Telepresence conferences when Content is being sent. This feature is controlled
using the FORCE_LEGACY_EP_CONTENT _LAYOUT_ON_TELEPRESENCE flag. This
flag must be added to change the value.
The values of the flag are:
NO (Default) - The MCU does not manage the layouts while Content is sent. Personal
layout changes, for example, by MLA, override the default MCU layout. Legacy
endpoints may not display Content in Telepresence conferences due to layout changes.
YES - The MCU manages the layouts while Content is sent. Personal layout changes, for
example, by MLA, are ignored. The layouts for legacy endpoints are managed by the
MCU.
Guidelines for Sending Content to Legacy Endpoints in Telepresence
Conferences
MLA layout change requests for legacy endpoints will be ignored until Content is
stopped. At that point, MLA can be used again.
This feature is not supported in TIP conferences. TIP enabled conferences do not
support Legacy Content.
Click&View can not be used to change the layout while Content is being sent.
The Polycom Touch Control can not be used to change the layout while Content is being
sent.
When Telepresence Mode is enabled, the Skins options are disabled as the system uses a black
background and the frames and speaker indication are disabled.
