MeetingPlace Web behavior
When used with MeetingPlace Web versions earlier than 3.0, web 
conferencing can be enabled after the voice conference has been activated. 
When used with version 3.0 or later, reservationless meetings can be started 
either from the Web or the phone.
Exceptions to this behavior are with immediate meetings or scheduled 
meetings that begin now. If a meeting ID is not selected and a user clicks the 
Immediate Meeting
 button in the MeetingPlace Web home page (or schedules a 
meeting with a start time of now or earlier), the system creates a 
reservationless meeting with the user’s profile number. On the second try, the 
user receives an error message because a reservationless meeting already 
exists. This also happens when scheduling from MeetingPlace Outlook 
Gateway and MeetingTime.
When reservationless meeting participants join the web conference, all 
participants—including those in the waiting room—may share. However, 
users in the waiting room cannot use the in-session features.
System rules
As you work with reservationless meetings, keep the following system rules 
in mind:
The default parameters for reservationless meetings are the parameters set 
for immediate meetings. For example, if the default meeting length for 
immediate meetings is 30 minutes, reservationless meetings wait 30 
minutes for initiation before ending. If the meeting has not started within 
30 minutes of the first participant entering the waiting room, MeetingPlace 
prompts all participants: “The meeting organizer has not arrived. Please try 
again later.”
The web conferencing component of a reservationless meeting ends when 
the voice conference ends.
After users log into the system, they remain logged in. If they exit to the 
top menu, they do not have to enter their profile and password again. If 
they join another meeting, they join with their recorded profile name.
Profile users may end any reservationless meeting they join by 
pressing
#812
. Profile users may also end scheduled meetings.
Users can leave a meeting and return to the main menu by pressing
#9
This command works when reservationless meetings is turned on or off.
The Reservationless Meeting feature is available for U.S. English, 
U.K. English, French (Canada), French (France), Japanese, German, 
Portuguese (Brazil), and Spanish (Americas) languages.
