About Managing User Profiles for Video Use

Use profile settings for users and groups to manage video-conferencing resources and simplify video conferencing for users.

Users can be assigned to groups to simplify assigning privileges and parameters. Enter settings in the MeetingTime application using the table in this section

Manage the use of video resources by doing the following:

Controlling which users and groups can schedule video conferences. There are no restrictions on attending video conferences.

Prioritizing bandwidth use by assigning profiled users and groups default bandwidths.

By default, video conferencing is not enabled in user profiles, and video endpoint bandwidth is set to the maximum, 384 kbps.
