Participant Microphone Settings
Several factors may affect the meeting requirements and the manner in which the meeting is run: room size, number of
participants, formality of the event, and amount of technical support on staff. Adjust these operation settings in the DIS-
CCU to best fit the meeting needs:
• Microphone operation mode: how participants are allowed to address the floor
• Reply mode: briefly comment to the current speaker without altering the request queue
• Number of simultaneous speakers: control the discourse by limiting the number of speakers at once
• Microphone override: behavior of the microphone activation when the speaker list is full
