About Rescheduling Video Conferences
Meeting schedulers can reschedule meetings that include video capability in the same way they
reschedule meetings that do not include video conferencing.
Required conditions for scheduling video conferences also apply to rescheduling them.
About Attending Cisco MeetingPlace Video Conferences
A Cisco MeetingPlace conference must exist before a user can initiate the associated video conference.
The Cisco MeetingPlace conference can be scheduled in advance or started as an immediate or
reservationless meeting.
The video conference starts as soon as one person joins the video conference.

Passwords are never required to attend an immediate or reservationless meeting, even if meeting
schedulers enter a password when they schedule a meeting. To schedule a meeting that has password
protection, schedulers can include a Meeting ID that is different from their profile ID when they
schedule the meeting.
For scheduled meetings that include both video conferencing and external access:
If Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration is deployed in the DMZ to allow attendees outside the
–
firewall to participate in video conferences, meeting schedulers must set the Allow Internet
Access option to Yes each time they schedule video ports, whether or not external participants
will attend.
If Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration is deployed behind the firewall, people who are
–
outside the firewall cannot attend video conferences via IP-based endpoints, and meeting
schedulers must set Allow Internet Access to No if they want to enable video conferencing for
internal users with IP-based endpoints. In this case, people who are outside the firewall cannot
attend the web conference. If meeting schedulers want to allow participants outside the firewall
to attend the web conference, they must set Allow Internet Access to Yes, and video
conferencing will not be available for this conference. External users of ISDN video endpoints
can join the video conference even if Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration is installed behind
the firewall.
When users schedule immediate or reservationless meetings in configurations that include both
video conferencing and external access, the profile settings of each user for the Allow Internet
Access parameter may affect their ability to schedule video conferences and their ability to include
web-conferencing participants who are outside the firewall. See
Configurations and Video Conferencing, page
for each meeting by scheduling scheduled meetings that start as soon as they are scheduled (rather
than immediate or reservationless meetings.) In order to do this, they must include a meeting ID that
is different from their profile ID.
Cisco MeetingPlace may schedule more video ports than the scheduler specified. This is because the
number of video conferences is limited; Cisco MeetingPlace determines the average number of
video ports available to each video conference and automatically distributes "extra" ports if the
scheduler included fewer ports than the average.
The Meeting ID becomes part of the dial string that video endpoints use if they dial in to attend the
conference. Some endpoints can accommodate only relatively short dial strings, we recommend that
you determine the number of digits your endpoints can accommodate and recommend that your
users keep their Meeting IDs short enough to work with that limit.
