Changing the Video Layout from the Scopia XT Series MCU
Edition
About this task
A video layout is the arrangement of participant images as they appear on the monitor in a
videoconference. If the meeting includes a presentation, a layout can also refer to the arrangement of
the presentation image together with the meeting participants.
By default, the embedded MCU chooses the best video layout dynamically, based on the number of
participants in the call.
The moderator of the videoconference can change the layout for the videoconference. The change
affects all participants in the call. For more information about moderating videoconferences,
see
Moderating a Hosted Videoconference
on page 75 and
Moderating a Videoconference Hosted by
Another Scopia XT Series
on page 77.
The Scopia XT Series has a number of available video layouts depending on your model, named by the
number of participants they show simultaneously: full screen, Continuous Presence (CP) 2, CP3, CP4,
CP5, CP6, CP7, CP8, and CP9.

The embedded MCU sends the same video layout to all the participants.
