Customizing Meeting Options

Within any existing Lync meeting is the capability for organizers to adjust the meeting settings. Clicking the three-horizontal-dots icon at the lower-right corner of the conversation window and selecting Lync Meeting Options reveals the various options available:

• Lobby—Controls who gets access to the meeting automatically. This can be set to Anyone (no restrictions), Anyone from My Organization, People I Invite, or Only The Meeting Organizer. PSTN callers can optionally bypass the lobby.

• Announcements—Controls whether an announcement is played as users enter and exit the meetings. Whether names or tones are used is controlled by a server policy. Users cannot customize that choice.

• Presenters—Controls who is allowed to share content and let participants into the meeting.

• Annotations—Dictates who can mark up and annotate PowerPoint presentations.

• Content Viewing—Controls who can view content at their own pace, such as flipping between different PowerPoint slides without affecting the presenter’s view.
