Meetings
Q.
Why is the meeting feature unavailable?
A.
When you try to start a meeting, a message might be displayed that says that this feature is unavailable, or the Start Meeting menu option is not available. If you experience these problems, enter the correct meeting username and password. The username and password allows you to use the server that manages meetings.
Q.
The meeting feature is unavailable. How do I enter my meeting username and password?
A.
Verify that you have already signed in to Cisco Unified Communications for RTX.
Q.
Why am I not in a meeting after I select the Join meeting link?
A.
This problem may occur if the security level of your web browser is high. To resolve this issue, set the security level to medium.
Display
Q.
Why the Account tab is not available in Cisco UC Settings?
A.
If your system administrator sets to use the Cisco Unified Communications for RTX username and password as credentials for visual voicemail and meetings, you don't need to enter the credentials. Cisco Unified Communications for RTX hides the Account tab in Cisco UC Settings.
Q.
The Call button for each contact and some buttons in the RTX main panel are disabled. What do I need to do?
A.
The disabled Call button and other disabled buttons indicate that you have not successfully signed in to Cisco Unified Communications for RTX. Select in the title bar, then select Sign In to Cisco UC to sign in to Cisco Unified Communications for RTX.
