===== Conferencing panel =====

The conferencing feature of PMA.studio works in close collaboration with [[https://www.pathomation.com/pma.live|PMA.live]]. A [[admin_tileservers|PMA.live server component must be configured explicitly in the PMA.studio administrative back-end]] in order for this functionality to work.

The Conferencing panel is currently an [[experimental_features|experimental feature]] of PMA.studio and works in 3 modes:
  -  No active conference: when there is no active conference this panel just show a placeholder that allows user to Create new conference or Join to existing conference. 
  -  Active conference, user is admin: When there is an active conference and user is admin of conference user can see: 
    - Link to share - 'Copy' button allows to copy link to clipboard, and then this link can be used for joining a conference as participant 
    - Conference name (specified by admin) 
    - Owner - nickname of user who created a conference 
    - Nickname - nickname of current user 
    - Live mode - can be in 2 states - enabled (green circle), and disabled (red circle). When live mode is enabled conference participants can see the same ROIs as admin, when it is disabled participant cannot see 
    - Everyone in control - indicator is the same as for Live mode, when everyone in control enabled all participants can control what is being shown in conference 
    - Participants - list of participant nicknames
  -  Active conference, user is participant: When user joined to a conference as participant (s)he can see a reduced list of fields that are the same to one that is described in previous list item
