Avaya XT Series - Blocking your own Audio and Video

Blocking your own Audio and Video
About this task
During a call, you can block and unblock your own audio and video and either replace the video
with a placeholder static slide, or you can hide your participation altogether if your Avaya XT
Series is hosting the meeting.
Procedure
1. To mute your own audio, access the call menu. From the Avaya XT Series web interface,
select Mute from the top bar under the tabs. From the endpoint, select ok/menu > Mute
Myself.

Alternatively you can press the mute
key on the XT Remote Control Unit, or if you use
the Microphone Pod, you can press its own mute button. When your audio is muted, the
icon disappears on the display.
2. To block your own video and replace it with a static slide, access the call menu. From the
Avaya XT Series web interface, select Privacy from the top bar under the tabs. From the
endpoint, select ok/menu > Privacy Options > Privacy(see
Figure 37: Blocking your own
audio and video on page 86). Alternatively, you can remove it from the video layout.
The camera moves to its sleep position when it is disabled, or on the Avaya XTE240 the
embedded camera's LED turns off.
The system sends a placeholder slide to remote participants, and displays the icon on
your display.
Alternatively, you can hide your video. You can choose this preference: From the Avaya XT
Series web interface, select Administrator Settings > System > Customization >
