CHAPTER 1
Getting Started
This chapter describes the components and layout of a Breeze meeting room.
Creating a meeting room
You create a meeting room using the Breeze Manager web application. You specify a meeting
room name, description, and type of meeting access (public or private). A meeting room is then
created for you with a specific URL. Use this URL to enter the meeting room at any time.
For more information on creating meetings, log in to the Breeze Manager web application and
view the help for creating meetings in the
Using the Breeze Manager guide.
Entering a meeting room
After you create a meeting room, you can enter it from the Breeze Manager web application or by
either clicking on the URL (for example, in an e-mail or a bookmark) or by entering its URL in
your browser.
To go to a meeting room from the Breeze Manager, do one of the following:
•
If the Meeting Information page for a meeting is displayed—for example, immediately after
you have created a meeting—click the Enter Meeting Room button.
•
At any other time, click the Meeting tab in Breeze Manager to go to the Meeting Library,
where you can look up your meeting, display the Meeting Information page for it, and then
click the Enter Meeting Room button.
As a presenter of the meeting, you are immediately admitted to the meeting room.
Inside a Breeze meeting room
A meeting room is made up of three main areas: a title bar at the top, a layout navigation bar at
the bottom, and a stage in between. The stage displays content related to the meeting. It consists
of display areas (
pods ) for showing various types of content, such as slides, video, whiteboards,
shared files, polls, and messages to participants and presenters. Any pods located on the stage are
visible to all meeting room participants. Pods can also be located off stage; these can only be seen,
used, or controlled by presenters and preparing presenters.
There are three types of meeting room participants: presenters, preparing presenters, and
participants who are not presenters.
