Attend and Schedule 
Meetings from Your Phone 
(MeetingPlace Scheduling)
Use your phone to attend and manage the 
voice portion of a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 
meeting. You can attend a meeting as a guest, 
profiled user, or 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 PIN if you 
are set up to automatically sign in.
All meeting participants in a web meeting are 
considered guests for the Cisco Unified 
MeetingPlace audio portion of the meeting.
Guests, and therefore all meeting participants 
in a web meeting, cannot access these 
in-session meeting features for the audio 
portion of the meeting:
  •
Dialing 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)
Note
Depending on your system setup, some of 
the features described in this quick start

Start or Join a Breakout 
Session
A breakout session is a 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.

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

On your phone press #1 and then the number 
of the breakout room to enter the breakout 
room.
3.
Press # 1 0 to return to the main meeting.
Restrictions
  •
Breakout rooms are not supported in the web 
meeting room. However, participants in a web 
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.
