Muting/Unmuting Participant’s Audio or Video
Occasionally, a conference organizer may want to exclude the audio or video
channel of a participant from part of an On Going Conference.
You can mute a participant's audio and/or video signals via the participant's
right-click menu or in the Participant Properties dialog box. A participant
whose audio or video signal is muted hears and sees the other participants
while the other participants cannot hear or see the muted participant.
Alternatively, participants' audio and video signals can be muted from their
own endpoint, through the endpoint application. (The default DTMF code for
muting individual’s line is *6, and #6 for unmuting the line.)
Participants in an On Going Conference can also control the volume of their
endpoint. To do this, they use DTMF codes to increase or decrease the volume of
the audio transmitted from and to their endpoint. The default DTMF code to
increase the Broadcasting volume is *9, to decrease - #9. The default DTMF code
to increase the Listening volume is *76, and to decrease #76.
See “Using DTMF Codes During a Conference” on page 6-95.
• An endpoint muted by the operator remains muted until you unmute it.
• Disconnecting and reconnecting participants unmutes muted participants.
• Only connected participants can be muted.
