As demands on video conferencing change, you can update
the maximum number of participants to ensure that your network can
support this feature.
About this task
The default maximum number of participants in a single audio-only
or video conferences is set to 20. You can set this number higher
or lower to accommodate specific network consumption requirements.Note: The
maximum number of users can be set externally on the Sametime® Video MCU that
bridges video-conferencing connections.
Procedure
- On the server hosting IBM® Sametime Media Manager,
open the ConferenceManager.properties file. In
a multiple-computer deployment where Sametime Media Manager components
are installed on different computers, go to the server hosting the Sametime Conference Manager.
You can adjust the maximum participants setting for each
Service Provider Implementation (each adapter); each adapter has its
own ConferenceManager.properties file.
websphere_install_path/AppServer/profiles/profile_name/installedApps/cell_name
/ConferenceFocus.ear/ConferenceFocus.war/ConferenceManager.properties
- Edit the values in the following settings:
MaximumAudioConferenceUsers=20
MaximumVideoConferenceUsers=20
For example, the Radvision
TCSPI Adapter ConferenceManager.properties file
contains this setting by default:
#
# PerConferenceMaximum is the maximum number of users the service provider supports for each conference call.
#
MaximumConferenceUsers=200
so you will probably want
to reduce that value to provide better performance within your network.
- Restart the Sametime Media
Manager.
