In the "Maximum number of participants" field you can specify the maximum allowed number of active participants (connections) to avoid system overload.

• "Enable notification when connecting" is the switch that notifies the participant about the start of the broadcast and his connection to the conference; can be used in the case when a participant finds himself in the purgatorium before the start of the broadcast or when he is the only participant in the conference;
• “Allow anonymous connections to the conference” is the setting that allows you to connect to the conference without entering a PIN code;
• The "Open conference" switch allows anonymous users to dial into the conference without entering a PIN.

Conference properties

• "Do not end the conference" is the setting that allows you to not switch off a conference;
• Recall self disconnected participants is the setting that allows if necessary to independently call those conference participants who were disconnected after the connection with these participants was broken;

• Call all participants after moderator join is the switch that allows you to call all participants automatically when a moderator enters the conference. If a moderator does not connect to a conference a server refuses a connection rest participant;
• Drop all participants after moderator disconnect is the switch that allows you to end a conference automatically. If a moderator goes from a conference and in a conference does not attend any moderator a server turns off rest participants.

• "Enable layout logs" switch allows you to log the location of participants on the layout;
• Переключатель "Разрешить участникам отправлять презентацию" ограничивает самовольный запуск презентации участниками конференции, а также не позволяет завершить показ запущенной презентации. При установке данной настройки она будет применена ко всем участникам конференции. При добавлении в конференцию новых участников, а также при подключении в конференцию анонимных участников, параметры настройки будут действовать также и для них;
• "Разрешить участникам запрашивать слово" - переключатель, активация которого, позволяет участникам конференции запрашивать слово; при подключении к серверу через Vinteo Desktop он должен быть не ниже версии 3.17.2;
• "Разрешить участникам использовать белую доску" - настройка, позволяющая использовать функционал белой доски в конференции;
• FPS презентации - настройка с выпадающим списком, при помощи которой, можно установить ограничения по количеству кадров презентации.

В нижней части страницы расположена настройка оптимизации подбора разрешения клиента, позволяющая снизить нагрузку на сеть и уменьшить потребление ресурсов ВКС.

Настройка имеет 3 режима, когда она включена (по умолчанию), применение минимально и выключена.

Во включенном состоянии настройка управляет разрешением, идущим от клиента к серверу.

Минимальную оптимизацию следует установить в случае, когда ресурсов достаточно, но необходимо уменьшить нагрузку на сервер и сеть без понижения при этом качества передачи изображения. Такой режим также предпочтителен если происходит частая смена лектора, в режиме диалога участников.

Если выбран режим "Выключена", то участники будут подключены с разрешением, установленным им самим в настройках.
