About the number of
monitors and the role of
each monitor
The Video > Output > Connector n >
MonitorRole setting assigns a role to the
monitor that is connected to the output.
The monitor role decides which layout
(call participants and presentation) will
appear on the monitor.
Monitors with different monitor roles have
different layouts.
The Video > Monitors setting must reflect
the number of different layouts in your
room setup.
Note that a monitor can be reserved for
presentations.
