Deploying Collaboration Meeting Rooms
What are Collaboration Meeting Rooms?
Collaboration Meeting Rooms (CMRs) are reserved virtual spaces that have a set video address. Users can call in to that
address at any time to start a meeting.

Collaboration Meeting Rooms provide an easy way to connect using telepresence without knowing where other
participants are located; everyone dials into the same virtual room from their laptop, telepresence room, desktop
endpoint, or their phone.

Room Size and Quality
As with other meeting rooms, Collaboration Meeting Rooms can vary in capacity and available resources.
As an administrator, you will be able to determine:
■
the maximum number of participants available for the rooms
■
the video quality users can expect for their rooms
■
how long meetings in rooms may last
Users can view these properties when they access their Collaboration Meeting Room portal page. Room owners decide
on the video layout, and they can modify the name of the room, which appears as a banner that welcomes participants
when they call in to the room.

host and/or guests, and the minimum number of digits.

Note that changing the PIN requirements for CMRs after initial setup is likely to cause confusion for users. We strongly
recommend that you notify users when making changes of this nature.
