Disconnecting Participants from Conferences

When participants do not need to continue with the conference, you can remove them from the conference by:

•Disconnecting

•Deleting

When you disconnect a participant, resources remain allocated to that participant and the defined properties are retained by the system’s memory, therefore you can easily reconnect the participant if necessary. This is useful when participants want to discontinue the conference temporarily and return to it later.

On the other hand, deleting a participant completely removes all participant information from the conference and releases the resources that were allocated to that participant, making them available for other participants. However, to reconnect a participant who was deleted from the conference, you must define the parameters again as you would do for a new participant.

To disconnect a participant:

1.In the Monitor pane, Status pane or Browser pane, list the participants connected to the conference.

2.Right-click the icon of the participant to disconnect, and then click Disconnect Participant.

The participant is disconnected from the conference but the resources remain allocated in case the participant is reconnected. The participant status and icon change to Disconnected in the Connection column.

To reconnect a disconnected participant, right-click the participant icon, and then click Connect Participant.
