Avaya XT Series - Moderating Meetings; Moderating a Videoconference

Chapter 7: Moderating Meetings
Important:
You can access the Avaya 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 Media Server or hosted on your own
Avaya XT Series built-in Media Server. 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 Avaya XT Series built-in Media Server, 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 94.
You can moderate a videoconference hosted by another Media Server (such as another Avaya XT
Series Media Server or the Scopia Elite MCU or the Avaya Meetings Server Media Server) if your
Avaya XT Series is managed by Avaya Meetings Management, or if the other Media Server
supports H.243 and you are connected to the meeting via H.323. Both the Avaya XT Series built-
in Media Server and many third-party Media Servers support the H.243 standard, which enables
remote videoconference management.
