Sending Content to Legacy Endpoints in Telepresence
Conferences
The Collaboration Server can be configured to manage the layouts of to H.323/SIP/ISDN endpoints that do
not support H.239 Content (legacy endpoints) over the video (people) channel in Telepresence conferences
when Content is being sent. This feature is controlled using the
FORCE_LEGACY_EP_CONTENT_LAYOUT_ON_TELEPRESENCE flag. This flag must be added to
change the value.
The values of the flag are:
● NO (Default) - The MCU does not manage the layouts while Content is sent. Personal layout
changes, for example, by MLA, override the default MCU layout. Legacy endpoints may not display
Content in Telepresence conferences due to layout changes.
Telepresence Mode License
The Telepresence Layout Mode field is enabled only if the Collaboration Server system is licensed for
Telepresence Mode.
AVC endpoints only
Telepresence features are currently only supported in AVC-CP conferences.
SVC or SVC and CP Mixed Mode conferences are not supported.
