The choice of conference layouts offered by the MCU depends on the MCU model. For example,
the layouts in the Scopia Elite MCU or the Equinox Conferencing Media Server can display up to
28 participants, while the built-in MCU of the XT Series can display only up to eight remote
participants.
For improved user experience when using one monitor, the Scopia
®
Elite 6000 MCU offers an
additional set of video layouts called gallery layouts (solution version 8.3.2 or later). Specifically
designed for viewing shared content, these video layouts optimize screen space by displaying the
presentation as the main part of the screen, with participants as a strip either alongside or
underneath. By contrast, a standard video layout might display participants as an image overlay
(as an example).

Recorded videoconferences use one monitor only. During recording, the auxiliary monitor displays
the same video layout as the primary monitor.
Before a call, your monitor(s) display your own video, except on the Avaya XTE240 which shows
the computer content by default.
Meeting moderators can also change the video layout for all participants in a meeting (see
Changing the Video Layout for all Participants on page 81).
