This FAQ describes some of the layout behaviors for a variety of endpoint types when used with Meeting Server and managed by Meeting Management.
Points to note:
- This FAQ is intended to show examples of the types of behavior a user may see, particularly behaviors that may differ from an expected flow.
- The administrator controls Meeting Server behavior from Meeting Management. Meeting Management itself does not determine behavior.
- Behavior described here may change in the future as products evolve.
- It may take up to 15 seconds for Meeting Management to update to correctly reflect mute and layout status from an endpoint (where this is available to Meeting Management).
- Meeting Management's meeting-wide layout control only affects those participants currently in the meeting. It does not change the meeting default so will not be applied to new participants joining the meeting.
- Some layouts (for example on IX5000, TX9000, Cisco Meeting App or multiscreen endpoints) will differ to those layouts available on Meeting Server.
- If an endpoint is using a layout that does not exist in Meeting Management, then layouts are visible in the participant details view, but none selected.
- Refer also to the Meeting Server and Meeting Management Interoperability Databases posted to https://tp-tools-web01.cisco.com/start.
