actions any site can perform
any site in a multi-point video call can perform the following chair control actions:

view site: displays the selected site in the live window. the view site action overrides presentation mode (voice-activated switching) and any broadcaster actions from the chair. it does not affect video at other sites.
stop viewing site: causes your viewstation to return to presentation mode (voice-activated switching) or broadcaster actions as set by the site that has chair control.
make me the broadcaster: sends a request to the chair control site to force all sites to view your site.
actions only the chair control site can perform
the site with chair control only can perform the following chair control actions:
release chair: disables chair control for your site. another site in the multi-point video call can now acquire the chair.
select broadcaster: forces all sites to view the selected site, and disables presentation mode (voice-activated switching).
voice switching: enables presentation mode (voice-activated switching). the site that is speaking appears full screen to all sites in the call.
