Chapter 5: Moderating Meetings
Important:
You can access the XT Series using a browser (Web UI) or the end point main menu (Graphical
User Interface, GUI). Not all figures in this manual show both interfaces. Some figures show
either the web UI or the end point main menu. The field and menu names on both interfaces are
almost identical.
A moderator has special rights in a videoconference, including blocking the sound and video of
other participants, inviting new participants, disconnecting others, determining video layouts, and
closing meetings.

Moderating a Videoconference
About this task
You can moderate a videoconference hosted on an external MCU or hosted on your own XT
Series built-in MCU. A moderator has special rights in a videoconference, including blocking the
sound and video of other participants, inviting new participants, disconnecting others, determining
video layouts, and closing meetings.
This section describes different actions you can take as the moderator of a videoconference
hosted by your XT Series built-in MCU, for example inviting participants and assigning a
participant to be the lecturer. To change the video layout of all participants, see
Changing the
Video Layout for all Participants on page 81.
You can moderate a videoconference hosted by another MCU (such as another XT Series MCU or
the Scopia Elite MCU or the Equinox Conferencing Media Server) if your XT Series is managed by
Equinox Management, or if the other MCU supports H.243 and you are connected to the meeting
via H.323. Both the XT Series built-in MCU and many third-party MCUs support the H.243
standard, which enables remote videoconference management.
