The ConnectUC Meetings tab allows you to view, join, create, and manage meetings within ConnectUC.

By default, each user has a Personal Meeting ID that can serve as a "personal meeting room" that can be used at any time.

The Meetings section also includes a search bar at the top where you can either search the name of the meeting or simply input the meeting ID and join.

Additionally, if the user is invited to a meeting, or if a "shared meeting" is created that is visible to all company users, the meeting details will appear under the 'Meetings' section, as seen below.

Each meeting entry in the left-side bar includes the following options:

  • Copy Meeting ID
  • Join Meeting

Note: "Shared Meetings" are viewable by all users within your organization, and they can be identified via the 'group' icon, as seen below.

Once a meeting is selected, you can view additional details on the right side of the page, including:

  • Edit or Delete the meeting (If the user has permission)
  • Join Meeting
  • Copy buttons for Meeting ID and PIN Code
  • List of Dial in numbers for the meeting (clickable)
  • Name of the user that created the meeting
  • Date the meeting was created
  • Date the user last joined this meeting
  • Toggle if Waiting room is available (If the user has permission)
  • Copy buttons for Invitation and Meeting URL

Creating a Meeting

To begin creating a new meeting, click the 'New Meeting' button located at the top left corner while viewing the Meetings tab. 

Once "New Meeting" is selected, you can configure the following:

  • Name of the Meeting (Viewable by users that can see the meeting)
  • Add Meeting Moderators (Optional)
  • Waiting Room Toggle
  • Shared Meeting Toggle
    • On - Allows other users within the organization to view and join the meeting. 
    • Off - The meeting will not appear to other users in the organization and they must be invited to join the meeting.

After you have created a meeting, or if you are a moderator for an existing meeting, you can change the details mentioned above by clicking the 'Edit meeting' button.
