Controlling meetings
Controlling meetings from Cisco Meeting rooms
The latest Cisco VC rooms and the RCC Cisco Jabber client provide a roster list showing; the participants in the call, who's speaking, who's presenting and provides the option to drop participants from the call.
These controls can be found by selecting the 'participants' menu from the top right hand corner of the Cisco touch panel.
Alternately, for non Cisco or older VC systems, DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) tones can be used to control certain meeting functions. NOTE: some meeting roles such as Guest roles may not be able to access these functions.
