Starting a meeting

SMART Meeting Pro software integration with Microsoft Exchange enables you to start a scheduled meeting or an impromptu, ad hoc meeting when you log onto a room resource computer. Depending on the availability of the room resource, meetings can be started automatically or manually.

Notes 

  • To access all features of a scheduled meeting, the meeting owner must log onto the room resource computer with his or her network credentials.

  • If more than one meeting is scheduled, a list of meetings to choose from might appear (see Refreshing the list of scheduled meetings).

Starting a scheduled meeting

A scheduled meeting starts automatically at the designated time when the meeting owner logs on to the room resource computer. This setting can be changed (see Changing Microsoft Exchange integration settings).

Starting an ad hoc meeting

An ad hoc meeting starts automatically when you log on to the room resource computer and the room’s available for at least the next 30 minutes. This setting can be changed (see Changing Microsoft Exchange integration settings).
