Disabled
Participant in a Meeting if the WebEx Welcome Screen is
Disabled
If the WebEx Welcome Screen is disabled, the user experience of the first TelePresence participant in a
meeting that uses TelePresence Server varies depending on how the “Use Lobby Screen for conferences”
describes what the first
TelePresence participant in a meeting will see in different scenarios. To ensure that the first TelePresence
participant never sees a black screen, make sure you set “Use Lobby Screen for conferences” to Yes for all
TelePresence Servers you will use for CMR Hybrid meetings as described in the previous section.
