As a new Vidyo user, it is helpful to have a basic understanding of the
following terms that are used throughout this document:
DESTINATIONS
Places where you may interact with the VidyoConferencing System:
VidyoPortal — The Web interface of the VidyoConferencing System
VidyoDesktop — The Vidyo software client running on your local computer,
enabling a user to participate in a conference
VidyoRoom — The dedicated Vidyo endpoint appliance for use in a physical
conference room
USERS
Anyone who uses the system. There are five types of users:
Admin — Has administrative privileges. Can add, delete, manage users,
set up public rooms, and set up groups (define maximum participants and
bandwidth for users).
Operator — Can manage meeting rooms and normal users. The operator
has the same rights as the administrator except an operator cannot change
any system settings.
Normal — Can join meetings, control own meeting, and place direct calls.
Can change own password, set own PIN number.
VidyoRoom — The dedicated Vidyo endpoint appliance. Has the same rights
as a normal user. This guide is targeted toward such end users.
VidyoGateway — End user for portal. Has no personal room.
There is also a provision for guest users. Guest users are users you may invite to
a meeting who are not registered with the system. To invite users, simply send
them a link to your meeting. The guest user will follow that link and enter their
name to be able to join. Guest users only have the ability to join a conference.
They do not have the ability to login to the system or receive incoming calls.
MEETING ROOMS
Meeting rooms are virtual rooms where users of the Vidyo system can gather for
Vidyo conferences. There are two types of meeting rooms:
Personal — Each user is automatically assigned his or her own personal
room. This is the equivalent of a “personal oce” in the physical world.
Public — Common public spaces may also be created by the operator and
administrator only. These are the equivalent of conference rooms in the
Definitions
A PIN Code is a 3- to 10-digit
number that meeting participants
must enter before being admitted to
the meeting room. It can be set and
changed by the admin and user.
