Being Invited Into a Conference
Depending on how your video endpoint is configured, an incoming video call might come through to your regular
phone or to your video endpoint (see Calling into conferences for a brief description of the difference). Note that even
if a video call arrives on your regular phone, the video portion of the call will appear on your associated video endpoint
(if one is configured).
As with any other type of incoming call, you can choose to answer the call or not.
Being Invited into a Conference Using ConferenceMe
The conference administrator can invite you to join a conference using ConferenceMe. The invite will be a http:// link
included in an email.
Clicking the link loads a web browser that allows you to load ConferenceMe and be connected directly to your
conference. If you do not already have ConferenceMe installed, you can access the installer from this page before
joining the conference.
See Using ConferenceMe to join conferences for more information.

Understanding How Participants Display In Layout Views
The default behavior of the MCU is to display the "loudest" participants in the most prominent layout panes. If there
are more contributors than there are panes available, then the "quietest" participants are not shown.
However, different styles of layout introduce slight subtleties to this behavior, and in addition there are a few ways in
which participants or conference administrators may change the system used for pane assignment. In particular, you
may want to set the pane placement for a conference yourself.
