The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing user interface is composed of a set of template pages that allow users to complete various Cisco Unified MeetingPlace functions. As a system administrator, you can configure which fields are exposed to your users. This information is preserved in the MPWEB database and remains unaffected by Web Conferencing upgrades.

You can also create a template for a Session Expired page that displays to profiled users with expired or invalid session IDs.

== About Meeting Templates ==

Meeting templates allow meeting schedulers to specify meeting room layouts, add attachments, create polls, and set other meeting parameters that can be applied each time they create a meeting by using the template.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace has three predefined templates to suit different meeting styles. The following predefined templates are available:

* Collaboration—An open forum-style meeting where all participants have presenter permissions by default.
* Presentation—A meeting where one or more participants present to an active audience of one or more participants.
* Webinar—A lecture-style meeting where one participant is the moderator, there are one or more presenters, and the remainder of the participants are passive audience members. The audio for the audience members is muted by default in this type of meeting.

Users whose profiles allow them to host meetings with the full meeting room can choose any of these templates when scheduling a meeting. Users whose profiles are set for the participant list only can choose either the Collaborative template or the Webinar template when scheduling a meeting; in this case, the template affects only the audio permissions of participants.

=== About Custom Templates ===

Users whose profiles allow them to host meetings with the full meeting room can create and use custom templates. The rules for custom templates are the same as the rules for the Collaboration template; that is, it is an open forum-style meeting where all participants have presenter permissions by default.

Custom templates are intended to allow you to format the pod layouts and are only available for use with internal meetings. You cannot use custom templates to change user permissions.

== About Meeting Permissions and Meeting Type ==

The meeting template chosen by the scheduler dictates the default permissions that meeting invitees are assigned as they are added to the meeting (although these permissions can be changed while scheduling the meeting or at any point during the meeting).

Video scheduling permissions are independent of meeting type and are set in MeetingTime.
