Participant Groups
A group is a predefined collection of participants. A group provides an easy way to manage clusters of
participants that are in the same organizational structure and to connect a combination of endpoints to a
conference. For example, if you frequently conduct conferences with the marketing department, you can
create a group called “Marketing Team” that contains the endpoints of all members of the marketing team.
Groups can contain participants and sub-groups. You can define up to ten levels in the Main group.
