Acquire chair: Enables chair control for your site. The other
sites in the video call cannot acquire the chair until you release
it. If your site has chair control, a small gavel is displayed in
chair control mode. If you try to acquire chair control while
another site has it, a message is displayed that tells you
another site has chair control.
View Site: Displays the selected site in the live window. The
View Site action overrides Presentation mode (voice-activated
switching) and any broadcaster actions from the chair. It does
not affect video at other sites.
Stop Viewing Site: Causes your ViewStation to return to
Presentation mode (voice-activated switching) or broadcaster
actions as set by the site that has chair control.
Make Me the Broadcaster: Sends a request to the chair
control site to force all sites to view your site.
Actions Only The Chair Control Site Can Perform
The site with chair control only can perform the following chair
control actions:
Release Chair: Disables chair control for your site. Another site
in the multi-point video call can now acquire the chair.
Select Broadcaster: Forces all sites to view the selected site,
and disables Presentation mode (voice-activated switching).
Voice Switching: Enables Presentation mode (voice-activated
switching). The site that is speaking appears full screen to all
sites in the call.
Disconnect Site: Disconnects the selected site from the
multi-point call.
End the Conference: Disconnects all sites in the multi-point
call.
