Cisco Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (TMS) Version 15
Configuring Allow Early Join
TelePresence participants can join up to 5 minutes before the scheduled start time of the meeting. This
ensures that Cisco TMS allocates the conference 5 minutes before the meeting start time on the Main
Participant (MCU or TS). This is a best effort feature, so if the Main Participant does not have the resources
available, some or all participants may be unable to join the meeting within the 5 minute window.
