# General conference settings

# Video

To configure general video settings, go to Administration → Video.

/docs/mcu/media/video_settings/en.png

Here you can:

1. Set a storage size limit for video recordings.

2. Select an encoding profile for the primary video stream:

  • Default — determined by the system

  • Balanced — multi-purpose mode for sharing different types of content (a trade-off alternative)

  • Resolution — the priority is given to the video stream resolution

  • Motion — optimized to display frequent movements

  • Narrator — prioritizes definition in videos featuring a narrator.

3. Select the encoding profile for the additional video stream:

  • Default — determined by the system

  • Balanced — multi-purpose mode for sharing different types of content (a trade-off alternative)

  • Slideshow — emphasis on the clear display of slides

  • Movies — should be selected when streaming video files

  • Documents — focus on detailed rendering of text documents.

4. Set the bandwidth for the second channel, i.e., the percentage that the additional video stream will take in the overall video stream.

5. Set the time interval at which participants will be alternated (rotated) in the layout if a video layout with alternating participants is selected.

6. Select the scaling mode for windows in the layout.

Below you can enable the display of avatars and previews, optimize your events by tracking network channel status (traffic prioritization, QoS), and by adjusting the maximum frame rate (FPS):

# Customization

You can use various color schemes to customize the video layout. To do it, go to Administration → Skin styles:

/docs/mcu/media/skins/en.png

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

  • Font type, its size, and color

  • Text alignment

  • Background color

  • 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:

  1. If no one joined the conference after it started.

  2. When all participants were disconnected from the meeting.

  3. 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

By default, voice activity detection is enabled for all conferences:

If this setting is disabled, please note that it will apply only to new conferences and will not affect those previously created.
