12 Chapter 1: Attending a Breeze Meeting
Meeting room status Indicates the connection status of the meeting room. A green bar
indicates that the room connection is optimal. A yellow bar means network congestion. A red bar
indicates that you have been disconnected because of network problems, and Breeze Meeting is in
the process of trying to reestablish your meeting connection. Clicking the connection indicator
when it is green or yellow displays information about your connection (for example, its current
data-transmission rate). Clicking the indicator when it is red initiates an attempt to go back
online. This is useful if you have been disconnected and want to reconnect immediately.
The meeting room Stage
The meeting room Stage is the stage area of the presenter’s screen that participants see in a
meeting. The Stage contains the pods that display various types of content, such as slides, video,
or shared windows or applications. To make it easier for participants to see the content in a Share
pod, a presenter can display a Share pod full screen on the Stage. In full-screen mode, the contents
of the Share pod enlarges to fill the Stage.

participants see. The following types of pods are available:
