link video from one call to the audio of another in a conference
Hi, Is there a way to somehow force the video of one call to follow the audio of another call so they act as if they are coming from a single endpoint? Essentially what I'm looking for is something like the "video-no-video-avatar" option, which can take a video stream instead of PNG. What I am trying to achieve is to use an existing Polycom Soundstation with a set of extension microphones and to add a video-only stream from a laptop webcam to the mix. I don't want to use the mic/speakers of the laptop though, because the Soundstation provides much better audio experience. Ideally it would be possible to dial into a conference from a Soundstation (audio only) and from a laptop (video only, with deaf and mute set) and be able to link both calls together so the laptop video follows the Soundstation audio with regards to floor changes. The Soundstation mics and speakers will then be used for audio streaming and playback and the laptop will stream and playback the video only. Best, Hristo

Sorry, I should have explained, what I've tried already. The conference is configured to display non-video members as avatars. Muting the audio of the webcam is the first thing that comes to mind. However as soon as the conference detects audio from the Soundstation (or any other member for that matter) it switches the floor and as a result the webcam video is immediately replaced with the avatar of the Soundstation. I also tried to force the floor, but then it stays so and it is not possible for someone else to take the floor, or if I take the "force" away, the Soundstation immediately gets the floor and the video is again replaced with an avatar.

video-floor-only is set to true. A workaround will be to have an external process, which listens for the "floor-change" events per ESL and forces the vid-floor per API according to any audio <-> video stream relations. So it will force the vid-floor to the webcam as soon as it sees a floor-change event for the Soundstation. I didn't realize that the vid-floor can be set independently of the floor per API. I was kind of hoping that there is an easy way to accomplish this by setting some magical variable :), which simply defines the relation between the audio from one call and the video from another, but I guess the ESL trick will do for now.
