About Setting Up End Users for Video Conferencing in Cisco MeetingPlace

After end-users’ desktop or room-based video equipment is installed and running, set the

Cisco MeetingPlace profiles of designated users to allow them to schedule meetings that include video conferencing. See About Managing User Profiles for Video Use, page 4-10.

Users see video options when they schedule meetings only if their Cisco MeetingPlace profiles are enabled for video conferencing. Users without Cisco MeetingPlace profiles cannot schedule video conferences. Users do not need a Cisco MeetingPlace profile to attend video conferences.

In MeetingTime, you can set or change the video-conferencing bandwidth for groups and individual users, and set or change the default video-conferencing endpoint address for each user.

Users can set or change their video-conferencing bandwidth and default endpoint address in

Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing on the Account Basics page (if the optional Account link is displayed, allowing access to that page).

The endpoint address can be a phone number or an H.323 endpoint address. The endpoint address must be less than 128 digits; however, some endpoints require fewer than 128 digits.

For details about administrative functions in MeetingTime and Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing, see the Administrator’s Guide for Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server Release 5.3 and the Administrator’s Guide for Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3.
