Chapter 5 Using Cisco MeetingPlace Video Conferencing
About Attending Cisco MeetingPlace Video Conferences
For participants who attend via a desktop video endpoint, the video image appears separately in the
window of their desktop video endpoint, not in the Cisco MeetingPlace web-conferencing meeting room
window.
Profiled users connect with the bandwidth specified in their profile or with the default bandwidth if their
profile does not specify a bandwidth. Guest connections enter with the default bandwidth you specified
in MeetingTime.
About Attending Reservationless Meetings
If the meeting is reservationless and the organizer has not yet started the conference at the time a
participant joins the video conference, video participants will stay in the video waiting room until the
organizer starts the voice or web conference. As with data and voice conferencing, no in-meeting
functionality is available to conference participants in the waiting room.
How Users Join A Cisco MeetingPlace Video Conference
Participants should always start their video endpoints before attempting to join the Cisco MeetingPlace
video conference.
Users of Apple computers should always dial in from their video endpoints.
If participants join a single conference with both an audio-only device and a video endpoint, they should
mute one or the other.
Participants can join the video conference in any of several ways described in the following sections.
About Attending Video Conferences by Outdialing from Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing
In Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing, users can join the video conference in several ways:
• From the Current Meeting page by clicking the Connect button
• From the meeting room by clicking the Connect button
• From the meeting room by choosing Connect from the Personal menu
In each case, users enter the number for their video endpoint if it is not automatically entered, then click
Connect. For users of ISDN endpoints, the number of their video endpoint must be preceded by the
appropriate service prefix defined on the Cisco IPVC PRI Gateway. For information, see the Cisco IP/VC
3526 PRI Gateway and Cisco IP/VC 3540 PRI Gateway Module Administrator Guide, 2.0.
About Attending Video Conferences Via Cisco MeetingPlace for Outlook
If video conference resources were scheduled with the Cisco MeetingPlace conference, users can click
the MeetingPlace tab of a notification they have received in Microsoft Outlook, then click the Connect
Me button to have Cisco MeetingPlace dial their video endpoint and connect them to the video
conference. They can also dial in from their video endpoint using the dial-in number provided in the text
of the meeting notification. If the meeting requires a password or is restricted to profiled or invited users,
participants must join the video conference by clicking the Connect Me button in the notification, or
from within the Cisco MeetingPlace web-conferencing meeting room.
