Attending and Scheduling a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 8.0 Meeting from Your Phone

---

Revised: April 22, 2010, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 8.0

1 About Attending Meetings through Your Phone

Use your phone to attend and manage the voice portion of a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace meeting. You can attend a meeting as a guest, a profiled user, or the meeting organizer. Your sign-in profile determines which features you can access during the meeting.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace uses the same phone number to attend and schedule a meeting. If you do not have the number, contact your system administrator.

In the following procedures, you do not need to enter your profile number and profile PIN if you are configured to automatically sign in.

All meeting participants in a Cisco WebEx meeting are considered guests for the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace voice portion of the meeting.

Guests, and therefore all meeting participants in a Cisco WebEx meeting, cannot access these in-session meeting features for the voice portion of the meeting:

•Calling out to other users (using the #3 in-session option)

•Using advanced features, such as muting all participants or ending the meeting (using the #8 in-session options)

2 Tips for Improving the Audio Quality of Your Meetings

•Avoid using low-quality speaker phones, because they can cause echoes in the meeting. Try using a headset or handset instead.

•If you are using a headset, and you or other callers hear static noise:

–Try moving your headset away from electronic devices such as cell phones, laptops, PCs, and fluorescent lights. Electromagnetic interference from these devices can cause headsets to create static noise.

–Try switching from the headset to a handset. Low-quality and old headsets tend to create static noise.

8 Starting or Joining a Breakout Session

A breakout session is a voice-only meeting within a meeting. Use this feature if you want to meet privately with other participants during the larger meeting, for example, to take a discussion offline and return to the main meeting with a decision. Any participant in a meeting can start or join a breakout session.

Restriction

•Breakout rooms are not supported in the Cisco WebEx web meeting room. However, participants in a Cisco WebEx meeting can still participate in breakout sessions by pressing the appropriate key sequence on their phones.

•If you are connected to the meeting with a video endpoint, you cannot participate in a breakout session by using the audio and video from your video endpoint. To participate in a breakout session, you must have a separate phone connection to the meeting.

•You cannot record a breakout session. The system records only the main meeting room.

Procedure

---

Step 1 Decide, with other participants, the number of your breakout room (1-9).

Step 2 Mute the audio and pause the video of the video endpoint before moving the phone connection to the breakout session so that participants in the main conference room do not hear and see you on the video endpoint.

Step 3 Press #1 and then the number of the breakout room on your phone to enter the breakout room.

Step 4 Press 0 to return to the main meeting.

---

Troubleshooting Tips

•If you find that you cannot hear other participants speaking during a breakout session, check the volume on your phone. If it is not a volume issue, press # on your phone and then *. This forces you to step out of the breakout session then back in and should restore your audio.

•Any participant in a breakout session can lock that session by pressing #41 on their phone keypad. Once a session is locked, you cannot selectively admit participants, and participants cannot request entry. Participants who try to join a locked breakout session are automatically returned to the main meeting.

•To allow new participants to join your breakout session, unlock the session by pressing #41 again.

---

Note If you lock a meeting by pressing #41 from the phone keypad, you cannot unlock it from the Web. You must unlock the meeting by pressing #41 from the phone again.
