Prerequisites

The prerequisites for pinning and locking participant video feeds are as follows:

  • Microsoft Lync 2013 must be installed and running on the development computer.

  • You must have sign-in credentials for Microsoft Lync Server 2013.

  • Microsoft Lync 2013 SDK must be installed on the development computer.

Pin and lock a participant video

To pin or unpin a participant video

  1. Get the conversation Microsoft.Lync.Model.Conversation.Participant object the represents the person whose video you want to pin or unpin.

  2. Read the Participant property, Microsoft.Lync.Model.Conversation.ParticipantProperty.IsPinned.

    If the property return value is true, the participant video is pinned and the logic in the example unpins the video. Otherwise, the video is pinned by the example.

  3. Call the Participant.BeginPinVideo method or the Participant.BeginUnPinVideo method.

    The following example gets a participant from the conversation participant collection based on a selected contact display name. When a participant is found, the state of video pinning is read from the participant Participant.Properties collection. If the video is pinned, the example unpins the video. Otherwise, the video is pinned.

            /// <summary>
            /// Pins the selected participant video to the video gallery if it's not pinned and
            /// unpins the video if it's pinned.
            /// </summary>
            /// <param name="sender"></param>
            /// <param name="e"></param>
            private void PinVideo_Button_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
            {
                foreach (Participant participant in _Conversation.Participants)
                { 
                    string displayName = participant.Contact.GetContactInformation(ContactInformationType.DisplayName).ToString();
                    if (displayName == MeetingRoster_Listbox.SelectedItem.ToString())
                    {
                        if ((bool)participant.Properties[ParticipantProperty.IsPinned])
                        {
                            participant.BeginUnPinVideo((ar) => { participant.EndUnPinVideo(ar); }, null);
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            participant.BeginPinVideo((ar) => { participant.EndPinVideo(ar); }, null);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
    

To lock or unlock participant video

  1. Verify that the local meeting participant (the self-participant) is a presenter in the meeting by reading the ParticipantProperty.IsPresenter participant property on the self-participant.

  2. Get the conversation Microsoft.Lync.Model.Conversation.Participant object the represents the person whose video you want to lock or unlock.

  3. Read the Participant property, ParticipantProperty.IsLocked.

    If the property return value is true, the participant video is locked and the logic in the example unlocks the video. Otherwise, the video is locked by the example.

  4. Call the Participant.BeginLockVideo method or the Participant.BeginUnLockVideo method.

    The following example gets a participant from the conversation participant collection based on a selected contact display name. When a participant is found, the state of video locking is read from the participant Participant.Properties collection. If the video is locked, the example unlocks the video. Otherwise, the video is locked.

            /// <summary>
            /// Locks the selected participant video in the video gallery so that other conversation participants cannot remove the participant's 
            /// video stream from their view of the video gallery.
            /// </summary>
            /// <param name="sender"></param>
            /// <param name="e"></param>
            private void LockVideo_Button_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
            {
                //If the local user is not a presenter in the meeting, the BeginLockVideo and BeginUnlockVideo methods
                //fail.
                if ((bool)_Conversation.SelfParticipant.Properties[ParticipantProperty.IsPresenter] == false)
                {
                    return;
                }
                foreach (Participant participant in _Conversation.Participants)
                {
                    string displayName = participant.Contact.GetContactInformation(ContactInformationType.DisplayName).ToString();
                    if (displayName == MeetingRoster_Listbox.SelectedItem.ToString())
                    {
                        if ((bool)participant.Properties[ParticipantProperty.IsLocked])
                        {
                            participant.BeginUnLockVideo((ar) => { participant.EndUnLockVideo(ar); }, null);
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            participant.BeginLockVideo((ar) => { participant.EndLockVideo(ar); }, null);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
