Presentation Mode
Presentation Mode is available in Continuous Presence conferences. In
Continuous Presence conferences set to Presentation Mode, when the current
speaker’s speech extends a predefined time, the conference layout
automatically changes to full screen, displaying the current speaker as the
conference lecturer on all the conference participant monitors. When the
Presentation Mode is active, the speaker views the previous conference
layout. When another participant starts talking, the Presentation Mode is
cancelled and the conference returns to its predefined video layout.
To enable the Presentation Mode, define the time period that participants are
able to speak before they automatically become the conference “speakers”
and are viewed in full screen by all the conference participants (default time
interval is 15 seconds).
Presentation Mode Guidelines:
• Presentation mode is available with:
— Auto Layout
— Same Layout
— Conference On Port (COP) conferences.
• In a COP conference, when the speaker becomes the conference
presenter, the conference layout is automatically set to 1x1 (full screen)
and all participants including the active speaker view this layout.
• If the speaker in a video conference is an Audio Only participant, the
Presentation Mode is disabled for that participant.
• Video Forcing can be applied while the conference is in normal speaker
mode. Video forcing works in the same way as in Lecture Mode when
Presentation Mode is activated, that is, forcing is only enabled at the
conference level, and it only applies to the video layout viewed by the
lecturer.
• Since the Presentation mode is available only in Continuous Presence
conferences, it cannot be selected for Operator conferences. In addition,
it is not available in Software Continuous Presence conferences.
• When starting a conference in which Presentation Mode is set together
with asymmetric conference layouts and the conference is scheduled to
run on the Standard Video card, the conference is rejected by the MCU.
• During an On Going Conference set to Presentation Mode that is running
