Table 11-6 describes meeting status information messages that appear on the main display screen. These messages appear while the screen is dark (not showing video meeting images).

Table 11-6 Main Display Screen Messages

On-Screen Message	Description
Please wait for meeting to start	You have dialed into the meeting before the scheduled start time and are on hold.
Please wait, you are the first meeting participant	You are the first endpoint in the meeting.
Please wait for meeting host to join	The meeting host has not yet joined the meeting. This only applies to static meeting instances. An administrator can configure a room as host. If the host does not join, then all other rooms dialed in will be put on hold. When host joins, they will all be resumed. When the host leaves, the meeting will be stopped by the Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch (CTMS).
Please wait, temporarily at maximum number of callers	There are not enough CTMS slots available for your endpoint to join the meeting. Depending on your configuration, you will remain on hold until resources are available.
Please wait, remote user on hold	All participants are on hold except this endpoint. Only this endpoint sees the "hold" message. Note When multiple endpoints both secure and non-secure join a meeting at the same moment, in a best-effort ad hoc meeting for instance, some of the endpoints will see "Remote user on hold" momentarily displayed on the main display.
Unable to join secure call. Please wait, converting to non-secure	Occurs when the screen goes dark because of a security difference between meeting endpoints. Screen remains dark for approximately three or four seconds while security is downgraded. A lock icon that is unlocked may appear to indicate non-secure status.
Please touch End Call if your meeting has ended	You are the last endpoint in the meeting.
