FECC configuration notes

Before using FECC keep the following points in mind:

  1. Once FECC is activated, the host controlling the camera can’t change the video layout until the FECC session is stopped. FECC session use the Equal meeting layout.
  1. Far End Control Mode should be set to On for the device (On is the default).
  2. If the device is running a version of RoomOS earlier than 11.1.1.2, see the instructions for disabling Speaker Track Mode below.

We are continually adding support for new devices.

For RoomOS versions earlier than 11.1.1.2, you’ll need to disable Speaker Track Mode. While Speaker Track Mode can be turned off directly on a device during a meeting by a participant, we recommend disabling it permanently in Control Hub.

To disable Speaker Track Mode:

1

Login to Control Hub https://admin.webex.com with your administrator account and select Devices in the left-hand nav.

2

Select an FECC-enabled device (see the list of FECC supported devices).

3

Select All configurations.

4

Search for Speaker Track Mode.

5

Change the Configuration Value from Auto/On to Off, and then select Save.

6

Repeat these steps for all devices you want to use for FECC.
