Managing video conferences

When using the administrator link to join the video conference, you have certain additional options that we will explain in this article.

Guide

When you hover over a user in the right side or the tile view, the symbol will apear in the top right corner with which you can open the menu. There you will find the following options:

Mute // Ask to unmute

Mutes the user or, if the user is muted, sends an inquiry to user to unmute themselves.

Mute everyone else

All members but the selected user will be muted. (If you don’t select yourself, you will be muted as well.)

Disable camera

Disables the camera of the user. Only the user can re-enable their camera.

Disable camera of everyone else

All members but the selected user will have their camera turned off. (If you don’t select yourself, yours will be turned off as well.)

Grant Moderator Rights

Promote the selected user so they can use the options listed here.

Kick out

The selected user will be removed from the video conference. (However, they can still rejoin within the two hours by using the invitation link. This can be disabled with the “Enable Lobby” option in “security options”.)

Pin to stage // unpin (available to all users)

The user will be focused in your local view. If you activate tile view at the bottom menu the user will automatically be unpinned.

Send private message (available to all users)

Sends a private message to the user.

(available to all users)

You can change the volume setting for each individual user.

In the main menu bar you also have the following options:

Breakout rooms

Create a separate section for a group of users.
You can move users to breakout rooms, but users can also join/leave them by themselves.

Click the symbol and select “create breakout room” on the right side to create a breakout room. You can rename or delete the breakout room with the symbol next to it.
Hover over a user and select the symbol to move them to a breakout room.

The name for the general video conference space is “Main room”

Security options

Click on the symbol and select “Security Options”.

Here you can activate the Lobby mode, so users who want to join must first be accepted by a moderator before they join.
You can also set a password which then can be used to directly join the video conference, even if the lobby mode should be activated.

End meeting for all

Click on the symbol and select “End meeting for all”.
All users will be removed from the video conference and they receive a message, that it has been terminated.
Within the initial two hours it would be possible to rejoin the meeting with the invitation links.
