RESTRICT ACCESS TO YOUR MEETING

You can configure GlobalMeet to control access to your meeting. In Meeting Settings, enable the

Waiting Room feature to prevent your guests from joining a meeting until you are ready. Or, enable

Guest Privacy to hide the identity of guests from the other guests in the meeting.

NOTE: Enable these features before you host your meeting.

Waiting Room

The waiting room feature prevents guests from entering your web meeting until you join. You can

choose to admit each guest individually or have GlobalMeet admit all waiting guests when you join.

Your guests will see a message like the following example until you admit them.

To enable the waiting room, open Meeting Settings, and on the

WEB SETTINGS tab, set WAITING ROOM to ON. If you choose I will

admit each guest, the MEETINGS bar includes a clock icon. Click

Guest Privacy

Another way to control access to your meeting is to enable Guest Privacy. The Guest Privacy feature

allows hosts to hide the identity of guests from the other guests in the meeting. This is particularly

useful for larger public events, where a long Participants list can become unwieldy or you may not

want guests from other organizations to be able to identify one another.

When Guest Privacy is enabled, it changes the guests’ view of the meeting:

• Guests see only the names of the host, presenters, and their own names; all other guest names

are hidden.

• The Speaking line – with the speaker's name – is hidden.

• Active talker is highlighted only when the host, presenters, or current guest is speaking.

• Meeting notifications are hidden.

• Guest webcams and chat are disabled.

These features remain available to you, the host.

Waiting Room Places guests in a waiting area until you join your meeting. You can admit each guest individually, or have GlobalMeet admit all waiting guests when you join.

Guest Privacy Mode Hides the names of guests and other identifying information from meeting participants. This feature is useful for larger public events or for meetings where you may not want guests from other organizations to be able to identify one another.

Enable Guest Chat Controls whether guests can chat within the meeting. Set this option to OFF to restrict chat to host and presenters. Hosts and presenters can still start private chats with guests.
