SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Exchange 2000 Conferencing Server, when you attempt to join a conference, you may only be able to join as an observer and not as a participant. In this case, your audio/video streams are not received by the other participants in the conference. In addition, you see a yellow icon beneath the local video window that displays the following:

This conference has limited the number of clients allowed to send audio and video. You will be allowed to join as an observer only. If the number of participants decreases, you may want to rejoin by refreshing your browser.



CAUSE
The administrator can limit the number of audio/video participants that can actively participate at any given time within a specific conference by configuring the Limit number of meeting participants to: setting within the Video Conferencing resource mailbox. Once the limit has been reached, additional participants can join, but are without the ability to send audio and/or video. However, they are still able to receive audio/video streams from all of the other participants.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, adjust the size limit accordingly for the conference resource, and then quit and restart the Microsoft Exchange Conference Management service.
