Changing the Video Layout for all Participants1
About this task2
As a meeting moderator, you can determine the video layouts for all participants in your meeting.3
A video layout is the arrangement of participant images as they appear on the monitor in a4
videoconference. If the meeting includes a presentation, a layout can also refer to the5
arrangement of the presentation image together with the meeting participants.6
If you host the meeting on your XT Series built-in MCU, you can change the video layouts on the7
XT Series. However, if you host the meeting on an external MCU like the Scopia Elite MCU or the8
Equinox Conferencing Media Server, you must use the methods available on that MCU, such as9
sending DTMF commands.10
The layouts of a multi-party meeting also depend on the host MCU. The Scopia Elite MCU or the11
Equinox Conferencing Media Server have a different set of layouts to the XT Series built-in MCU.12
In both cases, the default layout is a dynamic one, which changes depending on the number of13
participants displaying video. The choice of layouts depends on your XT Series model and the14
number of participants with video present in the call.15
