Video meetings

ConnectUC includes video meetings, so you don’t need a separate meeting app for most calls. You can meet with coworkers and invite people outside your company.

Your personal meeting room

Every user has My Personal Room at the top of the Meetings list. Think of it as your own meeting room that’s always ready. Share its link or Meeting ID whenever you want a quick face-to-face. Personal rooms can’t be deleted.

Create a meeting

1. Click Meetings in the left-side menu.
2. Click New Meeting at the top. On mobile, tap + New and choose New Meeting.
3. Type a Meeting Name. You’re listed as the Owner.
4. Optionally click Add moderators… and pick coworkers. Moderators can manage participants.
5. Waiting Room is on by default, so you let people in yourself. Outside guests always wait in the waiting room, even if you turn it off. You can only set this when you create the meeting.
6. Turn Shared Meeting on if everyone in your company should see and join it. Leave it off to invite people individually.
7. Click Create Meeting.

Invite people

Open the meeting and click Copy Invitation for the full invite, or Copy Meeting URL for just the link. The copy icons next to Meeting ID and PIN Code copy those. Paste them into an email or calendar invite. The meeting details also list Dial in Number options for people who want to join by phone.

Join a meeting

1. Open Meetings and click the meeting. You can also type a meeting ID in Search or join with meeting ID and click Join.
2. Click Join Meeting. The meeting opens in its own window.
3. Before you join, check your name, microphone, camera, and background. A green dot means “Your devices are working properly”.
4. Click Join meeting.

Tip: To join quietly, click the arrow on the Join meeting button and choose to join without audio.

During the meeting

The bar at the bottom of the screen has your main controls:

• Turn your microphone and camera on or off. The small arrows above them pick a different device.
• Share your screen.
• Open the meeting chat.
• Raise your hand, or use the arrow above it to send a reaction.
• Open the participants panel, or switch to tile view.
• Manage video quality (the speedometer icon).
• More actions (…) for settings, virtual backgrounds, and more.
• The red button leaves the meeting.

Hover over any button to see its name.

If video is choppy, click the speedometer icon and lower the video quality.

On mobile, the … menu adds options like car mode (turns off video) and low bandwidth mode. Tap the arrow at the top left to keep the meeting in a small window while you use other apps.

Start a meeting from a chat

In any chat, click the Meet icon at the top right to start a meeting with everyone in the conversation.

Turn on background blur

Go to Preferences → Video and turn on Blur my background during calls. You can also turn on Camera on when entering a meeting if you always want video.

Common questions

Can people outside my company join?

Yes. Send them the meeting URL or invitation. They can also dial in using a listed phone number.

Can I record a meeting?

Yes. Moderators see a green Start recording button at the top left of the meeting. Click Stop recording when you’re done. When the recording is ready, a Download button appears. Download it before you close the meeting window, because the recording isn’t available afterward. Let everyone know you’re recording.

Can I edit or delete a meeting?

Yes, if you created it or have permission. Open the meeting and click the pencil icon at the top right to edit it. Your personal room can be edited but not deleted.
