About Web Meetings Launched from Cisco Unified Personal Communicator
Cisco Unified Personal Communicator users can launch ad-hoc web meetings from their Cisco Unified Personal Communicator clients to share and collaborate on a whiteboard, desktop, application, or document. These ad-hoc meetings do not include Cisco Unified MeetingPlace audio. Users can not dial in to the meeting or dial out to a phone from the meeting room.
An ad-hoc web meeting launched from Cisco Unified Personal Communicator has the following additional characteristics:
- The meeting is assigned a random meeting ID; it does not use the reservationless ID of the user who launches the meeting.
- The meeting is not publicly listed; users can not locate the meeting by using the Find Meetings feature or by entering the meeting ID on the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web scheduling interface. Users are also unable to join the meeting by using Cisco Unified MeetingPlace PhoneView.
- The meeting is not password protected.
- No email notification is generated for the meeting.
For information about accessing the web meeting room from within a Cisco Unified Personal Communicator voice or video meeting, see the online help for the Cisco Unified Personal Communicator system.
