Lecture Show
The Lecture Show feature offers users the possibility of hearing or viewing a
broadcast without participating in the conference, as they can only hear and
see the lecturer. The participant hears the conference/broadcast and is unable
to interact or communicate, visually or verbally, as his/her audio and video
channels are automatically muted. The lecturer or moderator is not able to
receive any video or audio from any of the participants during the broadcast
of the lecture/show.
Lecture Show Guidelines:
Requires the selection of one participant as conference lecturer
Lecturer selection is mandatory at the reservation stage. The lecturer
cannot be changed or deleted during the On Going Conference
All participants excluding the lecturer have their audio and video
automatically muted by the MCU. Participants can only hear and see the
lecturer
Full screen (1x1) format is the only layout that may be selected for the
Lecture Show
Participants connecting to the conference prior to the lecturer/moderator
logon, hear and see only themselves
