What is an Active Talker List?

For multi-party conference calls, the demand for computing power and bandwidth grows multiple folds as the number of participants in a call session increases. Hence, burdening the client with the processing of numerous incoming and outgoing streams. To overcome this challenge, EnableX has implemented an Active Talker list.

At any given point in time, the number of participants actively talking is limited. In large conferences, you have a few talkers and more listeners who might take turns to talk hence it is not required to process all the streams simultaneously. An active talkers list consists of 12 actively talking users at a given time which keeps getting updated as the users take turns to talk. The UI is also generally configured to display streams of active talkers.
