MCU 5310
On the active participant's camera tab, you can preview the video from the camera, adjust its angle, zoom, and focus (if it has these features), and apply some other modifications to the incoming video stream.
The page contains a small image from the video stream so you can preview what the conference should see from this endpoint. You can click the preview to update the image.
| Field | Field description | Usage tips |
|---|---|---|
| Movement |
Click the directional arrow buttons to change the view direction of the camera. |
Some cameras are adjustable in all directions, others left and right only, and others up and down only. Many endpoints have fixed cameras, which will not respond to these controls. |
| Zoom |
Click on the plus or minus buttons to adjust the zoom of the participant's camera. |
Cameras that do not have zoom capability will not respond to these controls. |
| Focus |
Click on the plus or minus buttons to adjust the camera's focus. |
Cameras that do not have manual focus capability will not respond to these controls. |
These controls govern what the MCU does with the video stream coming from the active participant's camera, before composing it into the layout that it sends to all other participants.
| Field | Field description | Usage tips |
|---|---|---|
|
Stop video from this participant (like camera mute). | The MCU does not use the participant's video when composing the layout that it sends to other participants. |
|
Allow video from this participant (like camera unmute). | The MCU will include the participant's video when composing the layout it sends to other participants. |
  |
Use these buttons to force widescreen aspect on the video from this participant, or to restore the aspect to the original as received. | |
| Video to use by default |
Allows you to replace a participant's video with that of another participant. <self> tells the MCU to display the participant's own video during conferences. If you select another preconfigured endpoint from the dropdown, the MCU will display the video stream from the selected endpoint in place of the participant's own video. |
This feature can be useful in scenarios like translation, where you want to see the original speaker while you hear the translator. You do not need to alter any settings on the viewed participant, so in a translation scenario you would only change this setting on the translators' endpoints. This link is active whenever both participants are in the conference. The selected participant's video is always shown in place of the original participant's video; the original participant's video does not show in the conference, unless you explicitly show it using the pane placement feature. |
