MEETING NOTES

Today's livestream is focused on RingCentral and specifically the confusion around RingCentral Meetings (Video).

• The new RingCentral.app (we often references as the unified app) works with all devices.
• Use the new unified RingCentral.app. Avoid the old RingCentral Phone and RingCentral Meetings applications.
• The default URL invitation does not open the new unified RingCentral.app.
• You can join via a web browser, but from a browser you can only view the screen sharing (there will be no face-to-face video), and you must dial-in number for voice/audio. 
• When initiating or starting a new meeting always utilize your Personal Meeting ID.
• Change the settings to always use a Personal Meeting ID. Also enable the Waiting Room feature, and if you want extra security "enable password."

RingCentral Tips

• Never post your Personal Meeting ID in a public place/social media.
• If you switch headphones between devices, standardize on one device throughout the day. 
• Create an alternate email signature or place your Personal Meeting ID in your Notes.app for quick and easy cutting-and-pasting. Substitute 123 456 789 with your Personal Meeting ID:

Coming Soon (Currently Beta)

A new RingCentral.app with video meetings that are not Zoom-based, but rather a new platform called RingCentral Video. Works 100% on the web (and the app), but does not currently have Breakout Rooms or Waiting Rooms. We hope these features will be added.
