Chapter3 Installing Cisco MeetingPlace V ideo Integration
Before You Install
(Optional) Configuring Cisco MeetingPlace for Outlook If your Cisco MeetingPlace system includes Cisco MeetingPla ce for Outlook, perform the tasks in this
section. If not, skip this section.
Cisco MeetingPlace for Outlook generates meeting notifications that users receive when they are invited
to a meeting. These notifications are generated from templates that you can optionally customize.
For complete information about customizing meeting notification templates, see the Administrator’s
Guide for Cisco MeetingPlace for Outlook Release 5.3.
When the system includes CiscoMeetingPlace Video Integration, three video-specific templates are
used. By default, these templates include paramete rs for dial in numbers for IP and ISDN video
endpoints. They also direct users to join the web conference first, then join the video or voice conference.
(This is the preferred method. Users who join the video conference from within the web conference have
full access to the video controls and features in the web-conf erencing meeting room.)
You can remove information that is not applicable, or add special instructions or other information that
your users can use to attend conferences that include video.
Step 1 Examine the three video-specific notification templates to determine whether they have by default the
information that your video users need.
Step 2 If not, customize the video-related meeting notifications.
(Optional) Configuring Cisco MeetingPlace for Lotus Notes If your Cisco MeetingPlace system includes Cisco MeetingPlace for Lotus Notes, perform the tasks in
this section. If not, skip this section.
The following steps provide a general overview. For complete instructions, see the Administrator’s
Guide for Cisco MeetingPlace for Lotus Notes Release 5.3.
