Lecture Mode Monitoring
To cancel token ownership:
1 In the Participants list, right click the endpoint that currently has Content Token
ownership.
2 Select Cancel Content Token Owner in the drop-down menu.
Content Token ownership is cancelled for the endpoint.
A conference in which the Lecture Mode is enabled is started as any other conference. The
conference runs as an audio activated Continuous Presence conference until the lecturer
connects to the conference. The selected video layout is the one that is activated when the
conference starts. Once the lecturer is connected, the conference switches to the Lecture
Mode.
When Lecturer View Switching is activated, it enables automatic switching between the
conference participants in the lecturer’s video window. The switching in this mode is not
determined by voice activation and is initiated when the number of participants exceeds the
number of windows in the selected video layout. In this case, when the switching is
performed, the system refreshes the display and replaces the last active speaker with the
current speaker.
When one of the participants is talking, the automatic switching is suspended, showing the
current speaker, and it is resumed when the lecturer resumes talking.
If the lecturer is disconnected during an Ongoing Conference, the conference resumes
standard conferencing.
Forcing is enabled at the Conference level only. It applies only to the video layout viewed by
the lecturer as all the other conference participants see only the lecturer in full screen.
If an asymmetrical video layout is selected for the lecturer (i.e. 3+1, 4+1, 8+1), each video
window contains a different participant (i.e. one cannot be forced to a large frame and to a
small frame simultaneously).
