The Participants Module

The Participants module is useful for getting a quick overview of who is online.

The participants that are not sending video are represented by name only while those sending video also have a thumbnail image.

Note that the name of the participant turns red when he or she is sending audio (or blue when sending Private Audio - see chapter Private Window).

You can switch who is seen in the large video window by clicking on the thumbnail of another particpant.

The big Video window can also change source through Video Follows Audio. This can be turned off in the Marratech options/preferences or temporarily blocked by holding down the mouse button on a thumbnail in the Participants module.

The size and update speed of the Participant's video thumbnails can be set from the Options menu item under the Tools menu and select the Participants tab.
