Chapter 6 - Operations Performed During On Going Conferences
6-58
The Audio Muted Participant box lists all the participants currently
connected to the conference. A clear check box indicates that the
participant's audio channel is in the normal mode (unmuted), while a
checked box indicates that the participant's audio channel is muted.
6. Select the check boxes of the participants to be muted.
Alternatively, to mute all the participants except those who are video
forced (that is, those who are displayed in one of the video layout
windows) click the Select Unforced Participants button. All the
participants that are not video forced are checked. You can now unmute
and mute an individual participant in the Audio Muted Participants box.
7. Click OK.
The participants’ audio icon
in the Audio column in the Monitor
and Status panes now
indicates that the audio channel was muted by the
operator.
Locking/Unlocking a Conference
The operator or chairperson can lock or unlock an On Going Conference to
dial-in participants. In addition, you can lock a conference during setup
(whether you are defining a new conference in the Reservation template or in
the Conference Properties dialog box) and, if required, unlock it while it is
ongoing. The purpose of conference locking is to:
• Limit the number of dial-in participants connecting to the conference
• Prevent additional participants from connecting to the conference once
all the required participants are connected
• Save resources
You can lock and unlock the conference from the right-click menu, from the
toolbar or from the Conference - Properties dialog box.
Alternatively, the chairpersons can lock or unlock a conference from their
endpoint using the appropriate DTMF code (the default code to lock a
conference is *7, and the default code to unlock a conference is #7).
To lock a conference from the Conference right-click menu:
1. Expand the On Going Conferences list.
