2 Understanding Huddle Hub
2.1 Rooms, Sessions and Roles
Rooms and Sessions
For our purposes, a session is the sitting together of a group of people, with the intent of either making
or assisting to a presentation, or to perform a video-conference.
A session happens in a room which usually corresponds to a physical place where the HHO unit is
plugged to peripherals (TV and webcam) and the participants meet.
Each room is identified by a name, that can be set to match a specific place (e.g. "Main meeting room",
"1st floor huddle room" etc.) or a group of users it's reserved for (e.g. "Marketing dept.", "IT Demo", etc.) or
any other criteria that meets your needs.
A session starts when the first participant connects to a room, and ends when the last participant closes
his connection.
The following example portraits the situation of a company that has two HHO units:
·
HHO Ground Floor
o
Huddle room 1
·
HHO First Floor
o
Board room
Passcode
Sessions can be protected with a passcode, which ensures the privacy of your meeting. The passcode
is a 4 digits random number, generated when the session starts, that is visible on the TV screen or in the
toolbar of the participant that started the session or in the one of the participants that already joined it.
Passcode protection can be disabled.
Roles
During a session, we identify the following roles:
·
Participant: anyone who is connected to the session.
·
Presenter: any participant who is currently sharing his/her screen with the other participants.
·
Viewer: any participant who is receiving the presenters' screen.
·
Host: we call "host" the presenter that starts a video-conference using the Wireless Camera, thus
sharing the VC software screen with the other participants.
