About meeting software

SMART Meeting Pro software integrates with Microsoft Exchange and Bridgit software to automate meetings and facilitate collaboration.

SMART Meeting Pro software

For best use of SMART Meeting Pro software, use the meeting owner’s network credentials to log into the meeting room resource computer. After SMART Meeting Pro software starts, you can use the Meeting Notification window and the Bridgit Collaboration Bar to manage your meeting.

Microsoft Exchange

Use your Outlook calendar to schedule meetings and send invitations. When you include a room resource in the invitation, you can access the meeting details from SMART Meeting Pro software when you log into the room resource computer.

Use the Meeting Notification window to access meeting details from your Outlook calendar. You can start your meeting and monitor the room schedule as the meeting progresses. The Meeting Notification window provides status updates and alerts you when your scheduled meeting time is about to end. See Accessing meeting details using the Meeting Notification window for more information.

Bridgit software

If you use SMART Meeting Pro software with Bridgit software integration enabled, remote participants can join your meeting using Bridgit software. When SMART Meeting Pro software starts, a Bridgit meeting and a password are automatically created. To start the meeting, communicate the meeting name and password to the remote participants and share your screen with them once they join.

Microsoft Exchange integration enables other meeting rooms to automatically join your Bridgit meeting (see Scheduling Bridgit meetings).

This feature is not supported by Office 365™-hosted Microsoft Exchange servers.
