Adding a participant to a meeting on desktop clients

Last Updated : Oct 29, 2021 |

About this task

Use this procedure to invite participants to an ongoing Avaya Workplace Client video conference from any endpoint. You can invite both individual users and people in meeting rooms equipped with room systems. With Avaya Meetings Server, you can invite participants using:

  • The participant's name from the organization's directory.

  • The number of the room system or the dedicated endpoint.

  • The phone number, E.164 address, IP address, or SIP address of the room system or dedicated endpoint.

You must have moderator's rights and your own virtual room configured to invite participants. By default, any participant in a video conference can be a moderator, unless a virtual room is protected by its owner. You still may be able to invite other users to a video conference if the owner of the video conference shares the moderator PIN with you and you have your own virtual room on the same server.

Procedure

Do one of the following:

  • On the Contacts screen or the History screen, drag the card of a contact or terminal and drop it over the existing conference card that includes the participants.

    You cannot drag the card of a contact group and drop it over the existing conference card that includes the participants.

    Avaya Workplace Client adds the participant to the meeting.

  • From the Conference screen, dial the number of a person or terminal that you want to add to the conference:
    1. Click Conference or More.
