Lecture-style Meetings
MeetingPlace lecture-style meetings are based on the concept that there are
one or more speakers and the remaining participants are listeners and not
granted speaking ability. While scheduling a lecture-style meeting, the
meeting controller can use the Lecture Meeting Attend Settings parameter to
specify how they want listen-only participants to attend the meeting. This
parameter contains the following choices:

Admit as listeners
Automatically enables all participants to enter the
meeting via the meeting room with their speaking ability turned off.
Meeting controllers can “Open the floor” at any time to allow for

Start callers in waiting room
Automatically enables all participants to
enter the meeting via the waiting room where they can listen to on-hold
music plus any meeting announcements the moderator may have
recorded. This option allows speakers to converse in private in the main
meeting room before beginning the meeting.

When the moderators are ready to start the meeting they can “Call the

Note: Speaking ability is tied to whether or not the floor is open
or closed. If, however, users mute themselves while the floor is
closed and enter a breakout session the mute feature will not
take effect until the floor is re-opened. Therefore, if users return
to a main meeting where the floor has been re-opened, they may
find that they are still “muted” from their earlier request.

For increased efficiency, it is recommended that you schedule large

ensure that all entry/departure announcements are set to “Silent” and that

In large lecture-style meetings, when multiple participants initiate a request
to ask a question, coordination becomes important. Each request must be
served on a first-come, first-served basis.
