Using streaming to view conferences

The Codian MCU supports streaming, which involves sending conference media (audio and video) to a remote computer, allowing the user to watch and listen to a conference. The media flows in just one direction, so it is not possible to actually contribute to a conference via streaming.

The streaming video may be delayed by approximately 4-10 seconds compared to the real-time video.

Streaming must be enabled on your MCU before you can watch a conference. To enable streaming, go to Settings > Streaming. See Configuring streaming and ConferenceMe settings for more information.

To view an active conference using streaming:

  1. Go to Conferences and click Stream next to the conference name.
  2. Select the Streaming rate. Refer to the table below for tips.
  3. If you want to display and select advanced streaming settings, click the link. Select the settings you require, referring to the table below for tips.
  4. Click Start streaming to display the conference.
