Meet

If you want to use Video, you must have a Webcam or Camera of some sort to transmit video.

Once you completed the settings

Click the Meet button on the menu on the left.

The first time you do this you will be able to select which speakers you want to use and which camera you want to use. Once you have selected these, you may be prompted by your web browser to allow the speaker and camera to be used. Select Allow.

NOTE: If you wish to use the App on a Smart Phone or Tablet, you must go to the App Store for your phone and download the 3CX Web Conferencing App.

Once you have everything configured, you will see your camera Image on your screen.

You are now ready to start your conference.

You will see the link for the meeting under “Meeting Open Link URL

Click the oval button on the right of the link. This will copy the link to the clipboard.

Open Notepad, or whatever you choose, and save this link. This will always be your link for inviting participants to your meetings.

You can send the link using whatever Calendar program you are using to schedule a meeting, or you can send it in an Email, Text Message, Messenger, WhatsApp or however you please. Once a participant has your link and you hold regular ad-hoc meetings, they can use the link to join a meeting at any time. Don’t forget, if you use Text, WhatsApp or Messenger and they want to open the link on their Smart Phone, they must have the 3CX Conferencing App Installed
