Dropping a Site 

The person who has chair control can drop a site from the videoconference at any 
time. For example, the chairperson may want to drop a site if the people at that 
site donÕt need to participate in the rest of the meeting.

Depending on the type of bridge being used, a site that you drop from the 
videoconference may not be able to rejoin the conference.

To drop a site:

Choose Drop Site from the Chair Control menu.

The Drop Site menu appears.
