Simple scenarios
MCU with three or more endpoints
Figure 4: MCU with three or more endpoints
This is the simplest video conferencing scenario. Two endpoints could make a point-to-point call but when
three or more endpoints want to hold a video conference, they need an MCU to co-ordinate the conference
and to send the video and streams from all the endpoints to each endpoint.
Streaming to a web browser with the MCU
In this scenario three endpoints are contributing to the conference and the PCs are streaming. This means
they see and hear the three participants but they cannot contribute themselves.
