Why each option
The Cisco TelePresence MCU 5300 supports a conference-level custom layout that is automatically applied to every new participant upon joining, ensuring all attendees start with a uniform view.
The MCU 5300 does support layout customization; the claim that layouts cannot be customized is factually incorrect.
Configuring a layout per user individually does not produce a uniform starting experience for all participants and is operationally impractical at scale.
The MCU 5300 conference configuration allows an administrator to define a custom layout and designate it as the default applied to each new participant when they join. This conference-wide setting overrides individual endpoint layout preferences and guarantees a consistent starting layout for all attendees.
Allowing each endpoint to select its own layout means participants will start with different layouts, which directly contradicts the stated requirement.
