Who can attend

Choose an option from the list to indicate who can attend the meeting:

• Anyone-The meeting is unrestricted. Both profiled users and guest users can attend.
• MeetingPlace Profile Users-All components of the meeting (audio, web, and video) are restricted to profile users who sign in by using their Cisco Unified MeetingPlace user ID and password.
• Invited Profile Users-All components of the meeting (audio, web, and video) are restricted to profile users who were invited to attend. All invited users must sign in by using their Cisco Unified MeetingPlace user ID and password.

Meeting entry mode

Choose what users hear when they try to join the audio portion of your meetings.

• Echo meeting ID-The system repeats the meeting ID so that users can confirm their choice. When users first enter the meeting ID, their ID is repeated for confirmation. After users confirm the meeting ID, they are asked to record their names and then are placed in the meeting.
• Skip echo-The system skips the repeat of the meeting ID. When users first enter the meeting, users are asked to record their names and then are placed in the meeting.
• Skip echo and name-The system skips the repeat of the meeting ID and recording. When users first enter the meeting ID, they are placed directly in the meeting without recording their names.

Entry announcement

Choose what users hear when a new participant joins the meeting.

• Beep Only-A short beep is emitted during the meeting to indicate that someone has entered the meeting.
• Beep + Name-After a short beep, the recorded name of the participant is announced.

If you do not hear the name of a participant upon entry, the participant probably did not record a name before entering the meeting. Identify the participant before the meeting begins.

• None-There is no indication that someone has entered the meeting.

Exit announcement

Choose what users hear when a participant leaves the meeting.

• Beep Only-A short beep is emitted during the meeting to indicate that someone has departed the meeting.
