Avaya XT Series XT5000 Series XT4000 Series - Changing the Video Layout for All Participants

All participants in the videoconference can see the lecturer's video in the main part of the
screen, while a smaller image shows the most recent active speaker. This requires the
hosting MCU support the H.243 standard, which enables remote videoconference
management.
7. To prevent new participants from joining a meeting hosted on an XT Series, select Lock
Meeting.
8. You can view detailed statistics about the hosting MCU, or you can view details of all the
endpoints if you are the host of the meeting. From the XT Series web interface, select
Diagnostics. Select Previous or Next to scroll through the endpoints. From the endpoint,
press ok/menu to access the videoconference menu, and select Stats. Use the arrow
keys on your XT Remote Control Unit to scroll through the endpoints.
In the statistics window, Rx means receiving or incoming statistics, while Tx stands for
transmitting, or outgoing statistics.

menu and select Meeting Options > End meeting. From the XT Series web interface,
select Disconnect at the top of the meeting window.

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