About video conferencing

A video call involving more than two participants is called a video conference

or a MultiSite call. You will then make use of the optional built-in MultiSite

functionality of your TANDBERG Codec C90.

Observe that the infrastructure of your video network may contain external

Multi Conference Units (MCU). These are devices dedicated to handle

several simultaneous video conferences, each with many participants.

Consult your system administrator for information on how to utilize external

MCUs, if applicable.

Who becomes the host?

The host of a video conference is the endpoint to which all the others are

connected. In other words, the one who initiated the conference.

If two systems both supporting MultiSite have established their own video

conference independent of the other and one of these two call the other,

cascading will take place. This means that you may have more participants

in total than a single system supports. In this case, the host will be the one

calling the other.

The host has the right to terminate the connection to any of the participants.

The participants cannot control any of the others, but may disconnect

themselves from the meeting at all times.

If you are the one

who initiated

the video conference,

you are considered to be

the host by the system.
