 1   Getting Started

1 Getting Started
Cisco Meeting Server web app (web app) is a browser-based client for Cisco Meeting
Server that lets users join meetings (audio and video).
In web app, spaces provide a way for you to maintain a record of all users, joining
methods and default layout in a meeting.
If you have been invited to a meeting, see Join a meeting using web app.
If you have a user ID and password, log in to web app, see Sign into the web app.
A space is a virtual meeting room that users with access can use to start or join meetings
and share screen or presentation during meetings. Others can be invited to a meeting
using the joining details. Members can send chat messages during a call.
Users with credentials to log into web app can create, edit, delete spaces, change
member roles and access methods, if they have permissions assigned by the
administrator.

3 Joining options
While joining a meeting, the Joining options screen allows you to chose how you want to
join the meeting. You can see a preview of your video before joining.
Depending on how web app is configured by your administrator, you may be prompted
to enter your name or sign in. Enter your name and click Set display name. This will
appear in the participant list during the meeting and helps others to recognize you.
Alternatively, if you have the User ID and password to sign in to web app, click Sign in
instead.
If the browser remembers a previously entered name, or if the meeting join link has a
name parameter included, the prompt to enter name will not be shown. If you have
already signed in to web app, and are trying to join a meeting, your sign in name will be
shown.

Note: Options on this page depend on how the administrator has configured your web
app.

Note: If your administrator has configured single sign-on (SSO) for your web app
account, you can use SSO to login to web app. To login using SSO, follow these steps:
1. Enter your user name and click Sign in.
2. You will be redirected to the web page of single-sign on provider to sign in. After

the web app application from the one with the identity provider. This means that if you
logout / sign out from the web app application but not from the identity provider once
you enter the same user name you will automatically be allowed into the web app
application again. However, if you sign out from the identity provider it doesn't sign you
out from web app and hence you have to also sign out from web app. To ensure that
you cannot log in for this browser session again you must sign out from both the web
app application and the identity provider.
