Setting the Auto Video Layout
During Continuous Presence video conferences you can select or deselect the
Auto Layout option.
When this option is activated, the system automatically selects the conference
layout based on the number of participants in the conference. When a new
video participant is connected or disconnected, the conference layout
automatically changes to reflect the new number of video participants. Audio
Only participants do not affect the selected layout.
When the option is deactivated, the system uses the previously selected
conference layout.
For details of the layouts that are automatically selected by the system for
different numbers of connected participants, see “Auto Layout” on page 4-75.
The Continuous Presence - Classic layout can display maximum of nine video
windows. The Continuous Presence- Quad Views layout can display maximum of
sixteen video windows. If there are more participants than windows, voice
activated switching can occur.
• Software CP conferences cannot be set to Auto Layout.
• The Auto Layout feature can be used with Lecture Mode (for the lecturer
display), but cannot be enabled with Lecture Show.
• Auto Layout can be used with Same Layout and Conference On Port (COP).
In this mode, the system selects the layout as if one additional participant was
added to the conference to show the self view of the speaker. For example, in
a standard CP conference, if there are five participants in the conference, the
system shows only four windows, as the speaker does not see him/herself.
However, in Same Layout or COP mode, Auto Layout selects a layout for five
participants (and not four) to show the speaker.
