6.4 Muting your site

Mute Button on remote control

To prevent far-site participants from hearing a sidebar conversation at your site, or from being switched to your video feed in at inappropriate times during a multi-site call, press the orange MUTE button on the ViewStation remote (or the button in the center of a microphone pod).

A red light appears on the microphone pods when they are muted. A Mute icon (microphone with a cross-out bar through it) also appears on the TV monitor at lower left.

It is good etiquette to mute your site's microphones while listening to an extended presentation from another site in a multi-site conference. Please remember that the video signal seen at other sites is voice-activated, so noises off or sidebar conversation at your site may prevent another site from seeing the video from the presenting site continuously, unless you mute your microphones. In general, it is polite to leave your site's microphones open only during times when inter-site discussion is expected from the context of the meeting or presentation.
