Multipoint Viewing Modes
The multipoint viewing mode set on the host conference system is the layout used in a conference call for
all endpoints connected to the call. The modes alternate between full screen, continuous presence, which
is where video images from multiple sites are automatically combined on one monitor, or a combination of
both.
The default mode is Discussion, however, your administrator may have set any of the following modes as
the default for your system:
• Auto - The view switches between continuous presence and full screen, depending on the
interaction between the sites. If multiple sites are talking at the same time, continuous presence is
used. If one site speaks uninterrupted for at least 15 seconds, that site appears in full screen on the
monitor.
• Discussion - Multiple sites are displayed in continuous presence. The current speaker's image is
highlighted.
• Presentation - The speaker sees continuous presence while the other sites see the speaker in full
screen on the monitor.
• Full screen - The site that is speaking is shown in full screen to all other sites. The current speaker
sees the previous speaker.

is shared. The multipoint viewing layout configured on the host system is the one used in the call for all
endpoints in the call.
When you use two monitors of equal size, you can have eight-way multipoint calling, depending on your
system configuration. When you share content, one monitor is used for content and one for people. The
