Additional MCU Settings

In the Administration section, you can configure the remaining settings of the TrueConf MCU server: set up users and access rights, view operational statistics, manage backups, and more.

Statistics

To view the server resource usage statistics and overall system status, navigate to the Real-time monitoring menu item:

The Reserved resources chart shows the overall resource usage of the machine, taking into account memory operations and multiprocessor interaction. The amount of reserved resources is a dynamically changing parameter that considers all currently running tasks: transcoding, mixing, recording, broadcasting, video layouts, etc. For more details, see the relevant section. Displaying information on the chart is available after calibration.
