24 Chapter 2: Setting Up a Meeting Room
Finding out the number of participants waiting to enter a meeting room
If you have stopped a meeting, you can find out how many participants are waiting to enter the
meeting room.
To find out how many participants are waiting to enter a meeting room when a meeting has
been stopped:
• Place your mouse over the lock icon at the top of the meeting window.
A pop-up window displays a message containing the number of participants waiting to enter
the room.
Starting a meeting after stopping it
To start a meeting after you have stopped it, do one of the following:
• Click the Present button at the top of the meeting window, and from the pop-up menu, select
Stop Meeting.
This removes the check mark showing that the meeting was stopped. The lock icon disappears
from the top of the window, and the meeting room is now open for participants to enter.
• Move the pointer over the lock icon at the top of the meeting room and click Start Meeting in
the pop-up window that appears.
The lock icon disappears from the top of the meeting room, and the meeting room is now
open for participants to enter.
Setting meeting room connection properties
There are two bandwidth settings you can set to optimize the meeting room experience for
yourself and your participants:
My connection speed The bandwidth at which your computer is connected to the Internet.
Room bandwidth The bandwidth for the meeting room itself, which should correspond to the
average bandwidth of your meeting participants.
Possible bandwidth options for both settings include:
• Modem
• DSL
• LAN
Setting your connection speed
Set the connection speed setting to the bandwidth at which your computer is connected to the
Internet. Setting your connection speed can improve your experience of the meeting room by
alerting the server to how much data your connection can reasonably handle. The server will
respond by tuning the data delivery rate for your connection.
To set your connection speed:
1 Click the Meeting button at the top of the meeting window.
2 From the pop-up menu, select My Connection Speed and the appropriate bandwidth option.
