VOICE-ONLY CALLS
Registered and guest users can participate in a VidyoConference by phone if
the administrator enables this function. The MyRoom settings page provides
a phone number to join a user's room, as do the Control Meeting page and the
home page when you select My Room. Also, when you invite a participant by
email, the phone number and extension appear in the invitation message.
When a participant joins a conference by phone, their phone number appears
in the list of participants in the VidyoRoom home page.
MEETING ROOMS (OF EITHER TYPE) OFFER ATTRIBUTES
Meeting rooms are virtual rooms where users of the Vidyo system can gather
for VidyoConferences. There are two types of meeting rooms:
Personal –
Each user is automatically assigned his or her own personal
room. This is the equivalent of a "personal office" in the physical world.
Public –
Common public spaces may also be created by the operator and
administrator only. These are the equivalent of conference rooms in the
physical world.
Meeting rooms of either type have the following attributes:
Maximum Bandwidth
– The maximum bandwidth connection of the room
per user. Determined by the group the room is associated with. The
maximum is 10000 Kbps for upstream and downstream signals.
Maximum Number of Users
be allowed into the room at once at any given time. Determined by the
group the room is associated with. The default policy limit is 10 and is
configurable in the VidyoPortal at the tenant level.
Locked / Unlocked –
A locked meeting room can have no new entrants.
PIN Protected –
A PIN-protected room requires the user and meeting
invitees to enter the specified PIN in order to be admitted to the room.
GROUPS
Users, Public Meeting Rooms and VidyoRoom Users belong to a
provisioning Group.
Upon creating a VidyoRoom account, a personal room is
automatically generated.
Such groups are managed by the users with Administrative or Operator
rights.
The configurable attributes include the maximum number of participants
and maximum bandwidth for the Conference Room.
The values for maximum users and bandwidth apply to groups, and all
