Cisco Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing

 

 

Highlights of this release are: 

• 

WebConnect 

• 

Meeting Room Interface  

• 

Slide Show  

• 

WebPoll 

WebConnect provides seamless integration between multiple internal and external MeetingPlace systems 
through a single URL. Making use of a single database and a customer-defined rollover sequence, 
WebConnect ensures the availability of MeetingPlace resources while still offering the benefits of a 
consistent user experience. 

The Meeting Room interactive desktop provides access to many in-session features previously only 
available over the phone, such as: 

•  Viewing the participant roster  

•  See who is speaking   

•  Toggling mute/unmute status 

•  Locking/unlocking meetings  

•  Going to a breakout room  
Note: The Meeting Room is not supported for users running UNIX or Macintosh systems. 

PowerPoint files (.ppt) are uploaded and converted to .html format for ease of sharing with other web 

conference participants from the Meeting Room. During a Slide Show session, static information is 
pushed out to users in a non-dynamic fashion, as compared with a WebShare session, where screens are 
dynamically updated. PowerPoint files may be uploaded at any time before or during a meeting. 

WebPoll enables profile users to create single-question polls, multiple-question surveys or brainstorming 
questions to gather ideas, opinions, etc. from meeting participants. Meeting participants are given voting 
options, and the results are displayed during or after a meeting has concluded.

the “sa” username with a blank password.
