What does 'Far Side control' refer to in a teleconferencing setup?

• A. The app controls screen brightness.
• B. One site can remotely control the other site's camera.
• C. It means both sites share the same camera feed automatically.
• D. It is not allowed in telehealth.

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is remote control of the other site’s camera. Far Side control means the operator at one location can directly operate the camera at the opposite site—panning, tilting, or zooming—to adjust what is being viewed during the teleconferencing session. This capability helps a clinician or technician focus on a specific area or patient without being physically present at that site, improving examination or interaction. It isn’t about adjusting screen brightness or automatically sharing the same feed, and it isn’t inherently disallowed in telehealth—it's a feature that requires proper authentication, encryption, and patient consent.
