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 94).
Procedure
1.
To cycle through the most commonly used video layouts, press the Layouts key on the
XT Remote Control Unit repeatedly.
2.
To view all available layouts, press and hold the Layouts
key on the XT Remote
Control Unit, or press ok/menu and then select Layouts.
The choices of layouts depend on the number of streams to display and the number of
connected monitors. The group icon represents remote video, while the single icon
represents local video. The graph icon represents the presentation.
When a participant shares content in a meeting hosted by a Scopia
®
Elite 6000 MCU, you
can choose from an additional set of layouts designed to optimize screen space (known as
gallery layouts or MCU). This requires solution version 8.3.2 or later.
Note:
Gallery layout is not available when receiving Web Collaboration.
3. (Avaya XTE240 only) If you are using Avaya Room System XT Control, you can drag and
drop the images to change the arrangement of the layout, or you can right-click an empty
area of the video layout and choose a different layout from the context menu.
To switch between your own content versus the remote shared content during a call, you
can use the same context menu or press near/far on the XT Remote Control Unit.
4. (Meetings hosted by a Scopia Elite MCU or the Avaya Meetings Server Media Server only)
To view additional layouts available on the Media Server:
a. Press 0 on the XT Remote Control Unit.
b. Continue to press 0 to rotate through the available layouts.
c. (Optional) Press # to automatically adjust the size of the video display to better fit your
endpoint screen.
d. By default, your own image is not in the video layout. Press 1 to add your image, and
press 1 to remove it.
