Participant Control Operations
Mute a Participant
The muted participant cannot speak. If you want to mute a participant in the
conference, you can choose one of the following methods:
• Select the participant to be muted from the list, and then click the mute
button at the upper part of the pane.
• Right-click the participant to be muted in the list, and then select Mute. If
you want to mute all participants other than the selected participant,
select Mute All Other Than the Selected.
The tag will be displayed in the audio bar for the muted participants.
Ask to Speak
In a conference, if a muted participant's endpoint wants to talk, he/she can
press the * key on the remote control to active the keypad and then press 99 to
send a request to the conference administrator. The administrator will see a
dynamic Ask to Speak icon next to the participant's role on the Web
management page. This icon lasts for 30 seconds before disappearing.
Specify a Fixed Dual Stream Sender
In a conference, each endpoint can send dual streams by default. The
administrator can also specify a participant to be the dual stream sender and
only this participant is allowed to send dual streams.
Specify a participant to be a dual stream sender:
Right-click the participant to be configured in the list and select Become a
Dual Stream Sender. The tag will be displayed in the role bar for this
participant.
Switch the Target Conference Sites (Video Switching Conferences Only)
When video switching conferences are held, the administrator can randomly
switch the target conference site's video watched by the participant's
endpoint.
To switch the target conference sites, you can use the following two methods:
• (Recommended) Double-click the participant in the target conference site
to be switched in the list, and then click Video Settings. Select the
conference site you want to watch from the drop-down list in the
window.
• Right-click the participant in the target conference site to be switched in
the list, and then select Change Video Source. Select the conference site to
be watched from the popup list.
