Gathering Phase
The Gathering Phase of a conference is the time period during which participants are
connecting to a conference. During the Gathering Phase, a mix of live video from
connected endpoints is combined with both static and variable textual information
about the conference into a slide which is displayed on all connected endpoints. All
connected participants are kept informed about the current conference status including
names of connected participants, participant count, participant type (video/audio) etc.
During the Gathering Phase, the audio of all participants can be heard, and the video of
active speakers is displayed in the video windows as they begin talking.
