Manage meeting configuration settings in Skype for Business Server
Summary: Learn how to manage meeting configuration settings in Skype for Business Server.
This topic describes how to manage meeting configuration settings. For more information about how to plan and deploy conferencing, see Plan for conferencing in Skype for Business Server and Deploy conferencing in Skype for Business Server.
Meeting configuration settings dictate the type of meetings that users can create, in addition to controlling how (or even if) anonymous users and dial-in conferencing users can join these meetings. Note that these settings only affect scheduled meetings; they do not affect ad-hoc meetings created by clicking the Meet Now option in Skype for Business.
Meeting configuration settings define the following:
Whether users dialing in from the public switched telephone network (PSTN) go to the lobby
Who can be a presenter
Whether conference type is assigned by default
Whether anonymous (unauthenticated) users are admitted by default
You can define characteristics of meetings by using Skype for Business Server Control Panel or by using Skype for Business Server Management Shell.
You can specify meeting settings at the global level (created by default), site level, or pool level. By default, the global settings define the meeting experience. If you create pool-level settings, those settings apply to all meetings hosted by that pool. If you do not create pool-level settings, site-level settings apply, if they exist. If you do not define site-level settings, the global settings apply to all meetings.
