It is also possible to customize a participants' display name in the video layout. For example, you can edit:

Display name position in the video window.
All the changes will be displayed in the preview window.
# Conference settings
Go to Administration → Conference settings to set the rules for automatic ending of conferences and enable voice activity detection.
# Automatic сonference ending
You can configure automatic conference ending so that it is easier to monitor empty meetings with no participants in TrueConf MCU. The following rules are available:
If no one joined the conference after it started.
When all participants were disconnected from the meeting.
If only one participant remains in the conference.
After selecting required options, click the Save button.
You can redefine these settings for a specific conference when creating this event.
# Voice activity tracking
To enable voice activity detection for all conferences, check the corresponding box and click the Save button. The selected mode will be enabled for all conferences saved from the default* template. This setting applies to all newly created conferences and does not affect previously created ones.
