Gathering Phase
The Gathering Phase of an AVC (CP only) 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.
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.
All connected participants are kept informed about the current conference status including
names of connected participants, participant count, participant type (video/audio) etc.
