For Bridgit software users

Joining another Bridgit meeting

You can join another Bridgit meeting that was created by someone else.

If you don’t know the meeting password, you can still join the meeting by searching for the meeting you want to attend, knocking for meeting access, and then obtaining access from other meeting participants.

To join another meeting

1. Press Menu on the Bridgit Collaboration Bar, and then select Join Another Meeting.

   The SMART Bridgit Software window appears and connects to the last server you used.

   Note 

   If you haven’t used Bridgit software before or if you want to connect to a different server, follow the steps in the next procedure.

2. Select the meeting you want to join from the Meeting name drop-down list, and then enter the meeting password.

3. Select Yes under Do you want to use your computer for meeting audio? if your system administrator has enabled VoIP.

   OR

   Select No if you will be using another audio option.

4. Click Join Meeting.

To join another meeting with a knock

1. Press Menu on the Bridgit Collaboration Bar, and then select Join Another Meeting.

   The SMART Bridgit Software window appears and connects to the last server you used.

   Note 

   If you haven’t used Bridgit software before or if you want to connect to a different server, follow the steps in the next procedure.

2. Select the meeting you want to join from the Meeting name drop-down list.

3. Select Yes under Do you want to use your computer for meeting audio? if your system administrator enabled VoIP.

   OR

   Select No if you will use another audio option.

4. Click Knock to Join.

   A message appears stating that you’re waiting for a response from the meeting participants. Participants in the meeting receive a message asking them to allow or deny you access to the meeting.

   • If you’re allowed access to the meeting, your screen automatically updates to view the shared screen.

   • If you’re denied access to the meeting, the Unable to join message appears.

5. If you’re denied access, click OK to knock again or try to contact a meeting participant for the meeting password.

To change which server you’re connected to

1. Click the server icon in the bottom-left corner of the SMART Bridgit Software window.

   The Server Information dialog box appears.

2. Type the server name in the Which server do you want to connect to? box, or select a server from the drop-down list.

   Tip 

   If you’ve previously used a Bridgit software server, it appears in the Which server do you want to connect to? list. This makes it easy to connect to servers you’ve used before without typing the server name again.

3. Click Connect.
