Conference Privileges

Conference Client Program

Recording Availability
When participants including a host/presenter have a recording privilege join the conference room, pop-up window
appears, asking whether or not they start recording.

Conference Privileges
There are three main privileges such as host, presenter and annotation. A host takes all the privileges, controlling the
conference, participants and privileges including contents share and annotation. Basically a conference creator becomes a
conference host and also host privilege can be transferred to other participants and taken back by a host. When Host on
request, one of the conference options is selected, any participants can take host/presenter privilege during the conference.
If it is not selected, however, a host and presenter privileges are owned exclusively by hosts unless they are not transferred
to other participants. There may be one or more hosts in a conference session. Annotation privilege can be granted to one
or more participants and taken back by a host or presenter.
