—
Ask participant for details
- A dialog box opens in the participant’s Web
Office
Meeting Manager, asking them to select their endpoint type and to enter their
dialing details. Even if the participant is using a recognized Polycom endpoint,
they will still be asked for their details. Asking the participant to enter their details

Office
owner to manually add the
participant’s details.

participant’s details. This is useful when the Web
Office
owner wants to enter
specific endpoint details for the participant. This will override any endpoints
previously assigned to the participant. After the participant’s details are entered,
the participant will need to accept the Web
Office
invitation to connect to the
conference. If you want the participant to be able to connect to the conference
automatically even when they are away from the computer, you must add the
The participant’s endpoint and dialing details are saved on the participant’s computer for
subsequent requests by Web
Office to enter their details.
The meeting participant will only receive the dialog box requesting their information after you
click the
Start
button in the Conference Organizer window.
