Clean video feed

When using the video mode Video conferencing, administrators and the staff will see an option to open a clean video feed.

By the use of a clean feed, they will be able to obtain a video signal with no graphics or text added to it, put this video in a mixer, and then send the feed back out to another source.

To open a clean video feed, inside a room set up with the room video modes listed above, you should click on the button on the bottom-right corner (highlighted in the image below).

It will take you to a new window and you will see a pop-up message asking you to press the Start button to start a clean video feed.
