audience of one or more participants. All participants enter the meeting with
speaking privileges.
 Webinar—A lecture-style meeting where one participant is the moderator, there
are one or more presenters, and the remainder of the participants are passive
audience members. All passive audience members enter without speaking
privileges.
Note: You cannot use a custom template if you are scheduling a meeting that will
include external web participants, that is, "Allow External Participants" set to Yes. If
you later update or reschedule the meeting and set "Allow External Participants" to Yes,
the meeting template will be reset to the Collaborative template. Once a meeting
scheduled with a custom template begins, you will not be able to escalate the meeting to
an external meeting.
MeetingPlace Template Contents
When you convert a meeting room to a template, you make a duplicate of that meeting
room. Layouts, tools, and most contents and room information are preserved in the
template, including:
 Layouts with name, order, and starting (selected) status.
 Tools with name, size, position, and settings for full-screen toggle.
 Tool content.
 Whiteboard overlay contents.
 Poll state (Prepare, Open, Close), questions, answers, and broadcast results.
 Questions and answers, Chat tool link, and status (Open, Answered, All).
 Text in Notes tool.
 Messages to be displayed to users when a meeting is on hold or ended.
 Room background, screen resolution, and bandwidth.
 Presenter Only area status.
Certain information is not saved to the template. Voice meeting settings and the content
of a tool are not saved to a template.
